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."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
