If you are visiting St Andrews take the time out to have afternoon tea at the Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa. Served in the 17th Road Hole Bar which is located on the top floor of the hotel with spectacular views over the Old Course and St Andrew's coastline.
The afternoon tea is fab and with a varied selsction of sandwiches, scones, cakes and pancakes. Well worth the trip.

Right on Buchanan Street, Glasgow's main shopping area this is a great pitstop. An Italian with a great selection of pizzas and pasta, many with a twist, as well as an impressive range of meat and seafood dishes - there is something for everyone.

This is an award winning and well known fish & chips bar located in a small fishing village on the east coast of scotland on the harbour front.
A wide variety of fish is on offer and is all fresh and locally caught, definitely worth queuing for.
Highly recommended for a fab meal and great views of this pretty village.

The lodges are designed to offer luxury holiday. They sleep from 1 to 6 people and are set in a little clearing in a forest, you get access to leisure facilities at a nearby leisure club and you also get access to fort william golf club. With being set in a forest there is lots of wildlife to see but you also have a verandah to sit out on it is fantastic.

Beautiful, old castle. Decor is classic. Castle is rumoured to be haunted & has a unique mysterious feel about it. Try the Library bar for a dated but distibguished night cap. The food was excellent & spa & luxury / health facilities were even more special in that setting. About 10 - 15 drive from central Edinburgh.
-
Simply the best vegetarian food in the city. This is no hippy hangout, it's modern, stylish and has a great wine list. I've taken meat eaters there too, and never had any complaints - what more can I say?
