The Almond Bank, Livingston

This Wetherspoons may have peaked for Real Ale is 2008 but is now on a downward spiral. Guest beers are ALWAYS too cold, very often cloudy and rarely drinkable. At �2.05 its a dearer Wetherspons. Total lack of variety with Strathaven Ales now favourite. Management and staff are always changing and this is leading to declining standards. Food is mediocre. Watch out for the "queuing" systems that change daily depending on staff. Not in line or the wrong line, its the naughty corner for you and no food or drink.

The Sligachan Hotel, Sligachan

This pub is in a great location, looks good from the outside, but from the moment you walk through the door it's all downhill. Real Ales are in poor condition, strange seeing they are brewed next door, service is poor and prices very touristy!! Cold inside with the meagre fire being hogged by wet day walkers. Toilets stink and their central location allow this smell to spread. Get a mortgage for food.

The Pub At The Pier, Uig

No draught Real Ale again!! 5 empty handpumps with a very tacky a couple of bottles in a fridge, so no chance of enjoying. Staff seem uninterested except in the 2 or 3 locals who are either pissed or offensive, sometimes both. One bonus is "relatively" cheap prices for Skye. Take your own drink to Skye and let the locals enjoy their dive. They want your money but not you the person.
