About

The old-style pub serves Scottish dishes alongside French-influenced plates, with a spinach and falafel burger, vegetable chilli and Thai vegetable curry noted among its vegan choices. A small hotel sits above the bar, and reviewers praise the attentive staff, breakfast and open fire; check ingredients and ask for vegan bread accompaniments, since butter was served with bread in one visit.
