As Dalwhinnie means “meeting place “ and the Apiary @ Dalwhinnie is probably the highest cafe in the Highlands, we thought we would create some Friday night fun for all. Beer food and banter all allowed. Different Fridays will have different people and possibly some live folk music. Dalwhinnie is a fabulous place to visit and the designated driver will get free soft drinks/tea or coffee. Just make yourself known when you arrive and we make sure you are looked after.
