The Lochawe Community Defibrillator, located at the Ben Cruachan Inn was fundraised, installed by the owners and team at the Ben Cruachan Inn. The replacement pads to keep this vital piece of equipment functional have expired and require replacement as soon as possible. The defib has been sent out twice this year to St Conan’s Kirk and Lochawe Hotel, fortunately the unit was not required in both cases but shows how vital it is to have one in this remote area where Scottish Ambulance Service response can be up to 40 minutes away. Our team are trained to use this vital piece of kit and are committed to assisting in any emergency whether it be in our Inn, the village or further away. The closest defib is located at Dalmally Hall nearly 3 miles away. Click Here to Make a Donation

Cakes and coffee were the order of the day and the inn hosted The Quintessentially Foundation Bike Ride is our annual cycling fundraising event, it has raised over £4 Million and covered over 5,000 km in its 14 year history. This year, riders will cycle across the heart of Scotland, from East to West coast, through some of the most picturesque countryside the British Isles has to offer. 60 hungry cyclists descended on the inn for cakes, coffee and scones to set them on their final 125km leg of the run.
