Murrayshall House Hotel and Golf Courses One of our first blogs on The Boys Eat Scotland website was about our seven-course tasting menu experience at Murrayshall House Hotel near historic Scone in Perthshire.

Hotel restaurants can sometimes be a bit of a missed opportunity, offering little in the way of personality or inspired menu choices.

Over the last few months, we have watched with interest, the “other” bit of construction work going on across the Forth. The Hilton Doubletree in North Queensferry has extended upwards and outwards and added an impressive new restaurant space overlooking the new Queensferry Crossing. The people behind Twenty Princes Street and Juniper Bar run…
La Favorita – a new menu – same excellent service and food La Favorita on Leith Walk has launched a new menu and we went along to try it out.
