Aviemore

Cairngorm Hotel and Restaurant
Grampian Rd.

This an excellent restaurant, with both comfort food and top quality dinners in a casual setting. They also have a pub with a bar and separate tables.

Bathgate

Fairway Hotel
2 Edinburgh Rd.
www.fairwayhotel.biz
We have eaten here a number of times, it's a well decorated restaurant with excellent service. The food is creative with great quality and reasonably priced for a restaurant of this caliber. Some of the items that we liked are: Beastie of the Moor, haggis rolled in oatmeal and fried, with a Drambuie cream sauce, Steak Balmoral, a rib eye with haggis and a creamy black peppercorn sauce.

Edinburgh

Haddrian's Brasserie
Located on 1 Princes St.

This is a fine dinning setting with excellent views out to the street and very good food and service.

Falkland

Kind Kyttock's Kitchen
Located on Cross Wynd

This lovely little tearoom has arts and crafts displayed around the restaurant giving it a cosy setting. Some of their specialities for lunch are Scotch broth, cheese and chutney, gamekeeper's platter, scones, clootie dumpling and assorted sandwiches.

The Hayloft
Located on Back Wynd

They serve a selection of soups, sandwiches, cakes ans scones.

Fort William

Crannog Seafood Restaurant
Located on The Town Centre Pier
The Waterfront
http://www.crannog.net/

The restaurant is actually a permanently docked boat. The atmosphere is casual, the service top notch and food excellent. Great views out onto the water.

Glasgow

City Cafe
Finnieston Quay

A contemporary restaurant with a small bar, has excellent food. I especially like their breakfast. They have a cold buffet with salami, cheese, cold smoked fish, rolls, pastry and juice, which is included with your hot item that you order off the menu. We always enjoy the Loch Fyne smoked kippers for breakfast along with the black pudding, sausages and Scottish bacon.

Killin

Falls of Dochart Inn
Gray St.

This a charming stone building with a great view of the Falls. Their breakfast menu has a good selection of traditional Scottish fare, including my favorite, Stornoway black pudding. The lunch menu has items like: Cullin Skink, highland game terrine with chutney, fish and chips, lamb pie and a good assortment of Scottish cheese.

Kinross

Jolly Beggar
3 New Rd.

Located in the quaint little town of Kinross, it's a hotel, bar & restaurant. The restaurant is small , but as good food at reasonable prices and excellent service. We stopped for lunch and got the steak pie, which came with chip, cauliflower and peas for 4.70 lbs. ( 9.40 US at the time ). Hard to beat that price wise, and excellent quality to boot.

Moffat

Annandale Arms Hotel and Restaurant
High St.
http://www.annandalearmshotel.co.uk/

We have eaten here a number of times, the food is excellent and always has something that is a little on the creative side. This is one of my favorite places to stop for lunch. The restaurant has the fine dining look, but you can dress casual to eat here.

Oban

Nevis Bakery
12 Stevenson St

They have an excellent assortment of pies for breakfast, sausage rolls, bridies etc.

Oban Fish and Chip Shop
116 George St.

They carry the full assortment of what just about every fish shop does, but i think their food is better than most of the fish shops the we have been to over the last 25 years. We return here year after year for the last 10 years ( approx. ).

The Wide Mouthed Frog
Located at the Dunstaffnage Marina

We have stopped here a few times, the food is always great and has lovely views of the marina and boats and the castle across the water.
