Mabou
The village of Mabou is very Scottish (Gaelic-language signs attest to it), and the residents' respect for tradition is apparent in everything from the down-home meals they serve to the music they so exuberantly play; arguably the best place to sample both of the above is at the Red Shoe. The area around Mabou is riddled with hiking trails.
