Drymen is a village and often used as an overnight stop for the West Highland Way in Scotland. There are a couple of pubs and a walkers' shop. The Clachan pub claims to be the oldest pub in Scotland and to have a connection with the family of Rob Roy.

Drymen lies to the west of the Campsie fells and enjoys views to Ben Goyne on the east and to Loch Lomond on the west. The Queen Elizabeth forest reaches down to the village edge, and the whole area is part of the Loch Lomand and Trossachs National Park (the first National Park in Scotland). The village is a part of the Stirling Council area.

Despite the growth in the numbers of villagers commuting to Glasgow to work, there remains an agricultural tradition in the area. Every year, in early summer, an agricultural show is held in the fields around the river Endrick.
