Creggans Inn
Previously owned by Sir Fitzroy Maclean and Lady Veronica Maclean, the former diplomat, politician, soldier and author purchased Strachur Estate, including The Creggans Inn, in 1957.
Sir Fitzroy was an original member of the SAS and Winston Churchill’s personal representative in German occupied Yugoslavia where he assisted communist Tito to organise the resistance against the Germans.
Due to his friendship with James Bond author Ian Flemming and his daring war exploits, Fitzroy is thought to have been an inspiration for the James Bond 007 character.
Fitzroy developed the MacPhunn whisky, a dram of which can still be enjoyed here today.

Your Hosts at The Creggans Inn
Archie & Gill MacLellan along with their family will be your hosts at Creggans Inn. Since their purchase of The Creggans Inn in 2008, Archie & Gill have been working hard to build a reputation for great food & drink and warm hospitality here on the shores of Loch Fyne. Their children Pippa, Alice & Hamish are also familiar faces around the Inn when they help out between studies.
The local celebrity however, is Hector our award winning Hotel of the Year Doggie, who can be found on chilly evenings curled up by one of the log fires in the Inn. An affectionate character by nature, he’s a real hit with our guests and has his own following of loyal fans on our facebook page. But it can be a solitary life as a dog with only us humans to talk to so we welcomed a new four legged member to the family, Boo, named by Gill after the character Arthur ’Boo’ Radley from To Kill a Mockingbird. A whipper snapper at 4 years younger than Hector, he was supposed to have a rough coat however the long hair never developed but our affection for him quickly did!
