Drymen (/ˈdrɪmɪn/; from Scottish Gaelic: Druiminn [ˈt̪ɾɯmɪɲ]) is a village in the Stirling district of central Scotland. Once a popular stopping place for cattle drovers, it is now favored by visiting tourists given its location near Loch Lomond.[2] The village is centred around a village green, which is an unusual feature in Scottish villages but more common in other parts of the United Kingdom.[3]
