Crabshakk, Glasgow

I never used to like seafood, but a holiday to California some 15 years ago put paid to that. Treated to lunch at Spago in Beverly Hills, I went straight in and ordered lobster (no idea why, maybe a when in Rome situation?), much to the surprise of my husband. He was no doubt worried…

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…

Sun-Dancer, Nairn

As summer was drawing to a close, we had a visitor to the cottage – my Mum! She is someone who loves to eat out (she can’t cook and frankly doesn’t like to cook, so I have no idea how I survived childhood!) so being relatively new to the area, the hunt was on for…

Bootleggers Bothy, Hopeman

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…

Garrison West, Fort William

Since lockdown has eased and we are allowed to travel a bit more freely around our own countries (though I could really do with some sunshine!) we have been taking short breaks and the odd random day trip. Our first random trip seen us take an overnight stop in Fort William before heading out onto…

Two Fat Ladies at The Buttery, Glasgow

A wet windy Wednesday seen us both work in Glasgow for the day, and with no real rush to go home and a list of recommendations of eateries in the City in our back pockets, it seemed a good idea to take advantage.  The first place to be ticked off the list was The Two…
