Fern Cottage Restaurant

$$

The stone-built cottage set in pleasant surroundings aims to merge Scottish and Mediterranean cuisine, continuing the work of its previous Turkish chef--owner. The restaurant has now passed to new owners, but the signature kebabs are still on the menu, as are the tabbouleh salad and halloumi. The menu is long and varied, with these Turkish staples sitting comfortably alongside haggis and fish-and-chips. It is very popular so booking ahead is recommended.

Moulin Inn and Hotel

$$

The small and often crowded bar in the Moulin is the best place to try the ales produced in Scotland´s first microbrewery, which you can visit in the afternoon after enjoying the good, hearty pub food to be had here. The restaurant is proudly Scottish in decor and in its menu,  which includes venison, scallops, mussels, and, of course, haggis. You can also stay overnight in one of the hotel's 15 reasonably priced rooms. It is located slightly away from the busy High Street, which can be an advantage.

The Old Mill Inn

$$

With an old mill wheel the only reminder of its past, the Old Mill Inn features a range of gastropub-style options, including a fish platter, generous shared platters, and a range of vegetarian options. Its generous portions are served in the large main interior space or in the spectacular beer garden, protected by a huge marquee that features live music during summer weekends. It has some unpretentious rooms with splashes of color and Edwardian-style fabrics if you wish to stay the night.
