  • 1. The Birds and the Bees

    $$

    This lively pub in a converted whitewashed farmhouse is a little hard to find but worth the effort for the extensive menu---from burgers and steaks to jambalaya, curry, and haggis "draped" in a whisky-and-mustard sauce. This is all good home cooking without pretensions, and the servings are more than generous. Inside, the buzz of conversation bounces off dark-wood walls decorated with a fashionable collection of bric-a-brac. From the outside terrace you can look across fields to the hills beyond.

    This unpretentious and popular place with wooden tables and chairs has a menu that celebrates Scottish food, though well-made burgers and steaks are also permanent features.

Unusually, the desserts are house-made, and it shows. A range of Scottish beers and gins are available, too.
