The legend of The Dalmore dates back to 1263, when Colin of Kintail, Chief of the clan Mackenzie, saved King Alexander III of Scotland from a charging stag. As a reward the grateful King, granted Colin of Kintail the right to use the 12-pointed Royal Stag as the Mackenzie clan crest.

Joe was the publican at The Fiddichside Inn for decades.

The Inn never added a juke box or bar food because Joe Bandie, the publican, felt that the the inn was just as a pub should be a  "social environment where you meet people and get talking.”

 

The Fiddichside Inn, on the banks of the River Fiddich at Craigellachie, was built in 1840, originally to accommodate workers building the local railway.
