Food – Port Appin: The Old Inn. Some of the finest beef ever to appear on a plate – or board!

The Merchant City area of Glasgow is now a rather upmarket and trendy location which is why it was no great surprise to find this is where the hipster pancake restaurant Stack and Still can be found.
Accomm – Carlops: The Allan Ramsay Hotel. It’s rare to find somewhere like this, but a joy when you do!
