On the plate

The Bothy's official menus describe traditional Scottish cooking, with daily specials and seasonal changes. See the official menu for the venue's current menus and drinks list; dishes may change on the day.

The rooms

Inside it is rustic: bare sandstone walls, a fireplace and wooden furniture set against bold floral fabrics. The Scullery is one of the dining rooms, there is a garden for light lunches and drinks, and the first-floor private dining room seats up to 24, which suits family celebrations or a golf group dinner. It is a cosy choice on a cold evening.

Who it suits

Dog owners, for a start: dogs are welcome downstairs, with bowls and treats laid on. It is also a good choice for visitors wanting Scottish food in a cosy setting without leaving the town centre. Holy Trinity Church is next door and the shops of Market Street and South Street are a minute away. Booking is wise at weekends.
