PUBS and bars across Scotland have been named the best in their particular region with one spot being dubbed the Pub of the Year for the whole country.

The list of winners was published by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) which aims to highlight the very best drinking establishments across the UK.

Described as a "community focussed village pub," Hillend Tavern in Fife was named Scotland's Pub of the Year, beating competition in places like Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Discussing the watering hole, CAMRA said: "A community-focused village pub near Dalgety Bay with cosy log fires, beer garden and a selection of real ales creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

"The 'TAV' as it is known has a traditional bar and spacious area at the rear which is ideal for groups or functions. A dog bar offers complimentary water and treats to well-managed canines. Live music nights and the two quiz nights a month are popular."
