“Delicious Sunday lunch, great value, superb quality that really doesn’t disappoint. Would always recommend booking in advance but well worth it. Staff are very friendly and happy to help & offer suggestions.”

“Lovely club, good for parties, etc”

“Lovely wee pub. Great atmosphere. We were there on a Monday so got to see the band playing and have a sing along. Great service from the barmaid too.”

“Really fun night! Prebooked a room for 7-8 people and took advantage of our student discount for 3 hours for 1! Great selection of songs and good facilities. Staff were so friendly and helpful, and allowed us to surprise our friend with birthday cupcakes which we really appreciate. Pitchers aren’t too strong, but that’s the only area for improvement. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to have a sing with their friends!”

“Great club that's been going for years. 3 bars 2 downstairs big one upstairs. Disabled lift at rear of lounge for access to upstairs lounge/cabaret room. Large measures of spirits which if you don't know about can make you tipsy quickly. Really nice staff and patrons. Ladies have a tea dance every Monday afternoon between 1.30 to 3.30 and first Monday of the month is the ladies day when bingo is played. Come along for a wee visit xx”

“Great pub, very friendly and brilliant service!”

“Went in for lunch today!! Absolutely fantastic food with proper homemade chips! Excellent value! Will definitely return!”

“Great little pub with really tasty food. Staff were friendly and helpful and prices were more than reasonable. We went at a bit of a random time during the day so was quite quiet but I'd imagine it has a really good atmosphere at weekends. Big beer garden out the back with lots of space to enjoy the sun but with a covered area too.”

“Lovely local pub, lovely lady behind the bar.”

“Brilliant, brilliant place. Great, friendly locals made me feel really at home! This is a must to go to, for people in the local area, and for anyone travelling through.”

“Great caff. Very airy, big windows, and cool staff. Were always really chill and friendly when I worked in the building. Great to see it forever immortalised in Dept Q (previous annoyances over the caff being closed for filming now forgiven)”

“Cute and cozy theatre. Really friendly and helpful staff!”

“Great Food, Great Prices, Great Value”

“Outstanding experience. Friendly, down to earth wait staff. Very casual atmosphere. We were lucky enough to get a same day RESERVATION. It’s a small place so I was told you can’t get in without one. We witnessed that as we saw 3 different parties turned away. If you’re still reading this, stop and make a reservation. You have to call, as the web link takes you to the owner’s personal page (a little weird) I don’t know if their menu varies but I’d strongly recommend the French onion soup, the smoked duck salad, short ribs and especially the Sole so delicate and buttery it will melt in your mouth. 3 course meal with wine for under £100. It was worth triple the price.”

“Use it or lose it! Fantastic local shop & worth travelling to. Give the supermarket a miss!”

“We arrived in the heart of Scotland—Glasgow—where we were greeted by Sandy’s warm Scottish smile, setting the perfect tone for our adventure. Our first stop was the iconic Loch Lomond, a breathtaking destination of wild beauty and serene landscapes. However, Mother Nature had other plans. The skies opened up, drenching us in a cold, relentless rain, with temperatures hovering around 50°F. As we braved the misty downpour, I couldn’t shake the feeling of déjà vu—it was as if we had stepped straight into a scene from James Bond’s Skyfall. I could almost hear Albert Finney’s voice as Kincade, saying, “Welcome to Scotland.” It felt like Scotland was welcoming us in the most authentic way possible—thankfully, without Kincade firing a shotgun, but instead with a soaking mix of wind and rain. Despite the weather, Sandy was phenomenal. Her experience, knowledge, and enthusiasm made this one of the best tours we’ve had in Scotland. She kept our spirits high, weaving in fascinating history, local legends, and personal stories that made every stop unforgettable. And to top it off, her transportation was first-class—comfortable, clean, and perfect for navigating Scotland’s stunning landscapes. If you’re looking for a top-notch guide who delivers an authentic and enriching Scottish experience, Sandy is the one to book!”

“the host is lovely and the house is very nice. she made us two full breakfasts for breakfast that were both delicious and the bus to Edinburgh central are right outside. a great little BNB right out of town.”

“Laura started walking our dog last year as we wanted to get him more socialised. He was nervous at first but now absolutely loves his walks and is so excited when she arrives. Laura is professional, kind and genuinely loves her job and the animals she cares for. Wouln’t trust anyone else to walk our dog!”

“One of Edinburgh's best kept secrets! Situated on Edinburgh College's Milton Road campus, the delicious meals are cooked and served by students of the college. There may be a bit of a wait or occasional mix ups as the young people are mastering their hospitality journal but any misstep is more than made up for by the quality of the food, the local, seasonal ingredients and the happy atmosphere. A very economical way to experience really good food. The views are really nice too.”
