Another vote for Three Chimney's on Skye. Fantastic food. Charming atmosphere.

Also on Skye, I like the Flodigarry Inn for tea after a nice hike on the Quirang. Really great selection of sandwiches/cakes in a funky faded glory of a Victorian inn.

Around Argyll, I can recommend the Waterfront Restaurant in Oban. I had some of the best halibut I have ever tasted there... actually, my husband had it and I kept stealing from his plate. My langoustines were tremendous too... mmmmmmm and the sun-dried tomato risotto.

Those are three of the true stand-outs. There is a great book called a Taste of Scotland which goes through the many wonderful restaurants all over. Well worth taking a look at, especially if you are a foodie going up there...

Prestonfield House is, as clayrr says, only a few minutes south on Dalkeith Road which is (I think) the A7 south out of Edinburgh. I just looked at www.viamichelin.com and it's actually located on Priestfield.

. . . the best Chicken Chasseur appetizer I've ever had . . .

Well I was planning on taking my mother to Prestonfield House in 2003. My mom really like the idea of an evening of entertainment and this sounded like a classy (not totally touristy tacky) way to do it. But if Sheila hasn't been in 20 years - maybe I'll change my mind!

One in Edinburgh which is starting to build up a reputation is The Stockbridge Restaurant on St Stephen's Street in the New Town.

If you don't mind going (quite) a bit away from Edinburgh for a good meal, I'd recommend Ostler's Close Restaurant in Cupar - they use mainly local ingredients and one of the desserts is a "chocolate plate" - chocolate served in several forms (mousse, cake, etc - you get the picture.)

In Argyll is recommend the Crinan Hotel, particularly the restaurant at the top. Freshest anf finest seafood around. Pricey but well worth it. Prob best location as well!
