Finally, The Corryvreckan in Oban came in fifth with 47% of top reviews, with 1,930 out of 4,104 being the top score.
Markku Kanerva, a spokesperson for Suomicasinot, said: 'Wetherspoons is one of Scotland's most loved pub chains, and with summer approaching, many Scots are looking for the perfect spot for a pint.
'While many of the top ten venues are located in the major city of Edinburgh, it's interesting that some of the most loved Wetherspoons in Scotland are in smaller towns, like Oban and Largs.
'With 60 Wetherspoons locations in Scotland, anybody is within reach of one, whether you're in a big city or a small town.'

Lewis Capaldi sends tear-jerking message to fans after joining Noah Kahan for surprise Hyde Park performance
Lewis Capaldi wore a Chelsea FC strip while performing a rendition of 'Northern Attitude' with the American singer Lewis Capaldi delivered an emotional message to fans during Noah Kahan's concert in Hyde Park on Friday night, when he appeared on stage alongside the famed US singer to the surprise of gig-goers. The 28-year-old Scots singing sensation, who has been open about his mental health struggles, made a triumphant return to the stage after a hiatus, performing 'Northern Attitude' alongside Kahan. After his dazzling comeback at Glastonbury last week, where he had previously been unable to complete his set due to his Tourette's diagnosis, Lewis surprised attendees at BST by expressing his joy at being back. The artist, who burst onto the stage to join Kahan for the hit, which he normally sings alongside Irish musician Hozier, shared with the audience the success of his latest single, Survive. "Survive is this week's UK Number One, and I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who's been streaming it, downloading it," Capaldi told the packed crowd. "It really means the world." Grateful for the warm reception, he added: "I've been away for a little while and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible. "I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury - and now this! It's been the best week of my life. I hope you continue to enjoy the song, it means a lot to me." Capaldi hilariously matched Kahan's outfit, donning a Chelsea FC shirt and wearing a plaited wig to match his hair. Fans couldn't believe their eyes, with one writing on TikTok: "Lewis is popping up everywhere and I'm so here for it," and another scribing: "There is nothing he can't do. I am so pleased to see this lad's comeback." A third tweeted jokingly: "The world is healing." After an emotional performance at Glastonbury last week, Lewis has seen his latest album 'Survive' fly off the shelves, selling a staggering 68,500 copies in its opening week, including over four million streams. This feat eclipses his previous record of 56,000 with the 2022 hit 'Forget Me'. The artist, who has been candid about his diagnosis with Tourette syndrome, had to withdraw from Glastonbury two years prior, explaining to his followers: "I'm still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette's and on Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order." Later that year, Lewis updated his fans, stating: "I'm currently taking some time off to focus on my health and wellbeing and it's been going great!" Following his triumphant return last week, it has now been confirmed that Lewis is set to embark on a tour across the UK and Ireland later this year. The singer will grace the stage in ten cities, including Glasgow and Aberdeen. Launching his first headline tour in over two years, Lewis will begin in Sheffield on September 7, with the tour wrapping up in Dublin on September 29. The 'Hold Me While You Wait' singer's itinerary also includes two performances at London's O2, with additional stops in Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, and Cardiff.
