There's no better way to end my trip in Scotland then to have a full Scottish breakfast at this gorgeous location. The food was filling and very delicious. The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is perfect. The decor was very tasteful and it really showed the quality of the place. 100% would go back to this fine establishment!

Fun, tasty, maritime-y! We enjoyed our meal here and lamented that we were unable to attend any of the live music events they had planned.
