Nestled on Miller Street in the heart of Glasgow, Margo is the latest addition to the city’s vibrant dining scene. Opened by the talented team behind Ox and Finch, this new restaurant has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

Inver Restaurant, Strachur
I’ve been following the Inver Restaurant for a while on social media and coupled with a visit to Strachur last year (where we nearly bought a house!), we decided it was time for a wee cheeky night away and some good tasty food, oh and to celebrate 20 years together (eek!). Inver is a restaurant…
The Tollhouse, Edinburgh
Located in Canonmills on the cusp of Edinburgh’s New Town, sits The Tollhouse perched beside the bridge over the Water of Leith. This latest offering from the people behind the popular Dine restaurant is a far cry from its previous incarnation … a derelict public toilet block! It was a Friday night straight after work…
Gorse Syrup
Maybe I am taking to country living a bit too much, but at the moment the cottage is surrounded by Gorse Bushes. That coconut smell is filling the air and from a distant memory of a foraging course I did, you can consume gorse! So, I thought I would make some gorse syrup to add…
Orrin Restaurant, Elgin
Orrin is the new kid in town, having opened in mid November, it is a very much welcomed addition to the food scene in Morayshire. Offering fine dining which is accessible to all, Orrin certainly hits the mark in terms of food, drinks and service. The restaurant is located on South Street, a corner position…
Cramond Brig and Dalmeny Loop
I spotted on social media a few weeks ago the 52 Hike Challenge, it’s one of these challenges that you sign up for, get a list of potential hikes and a medal at the end for completion. The downside is that it’s based in America and therefore the hikes are not relevant and no option…
Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa, Pitlochry
I’m always on the hunt for a wee night or weekend away from city life, somewhere comfortable, with good food and preferably a spa (though the latter is not a deal breaker)! It’s just nice to get away from the norm, particularly in these more challenging times we find ourselves in. So, a friend and…
Tigh-an-truish, Isle of Seil
Trying to make the best of this semi-lockdown situation, we found ourselves on another road trip. This time to the Isle of Seil (more on that in another post!). The Isle of Seil is about 25 minutes south of Oban, on Scotland’s West Coast. It’s also famous for its ‘Bridge across the Atlantic’, a small…
The Fife Arms, Braemar
After a lovely weekend up on the Moray Coast (more on that later!) we stopped off in Braemar on the way back home. I haven’t been in Braemar in years (about 15 to be precise, when I was doing research for my Masters’ dissertation!) and in general it hasn’t changed, except for one place –…
