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.

Dunkeld House – Big Tree Country The recently refurbished and now rather chic modern country house hotel, Dunkeld House, is just a short hop and a skip from the banks of the River Tay and we were visiting for dinner, bed, and breakfast. We forgot just how close Dunkeld is to the central belt, so…
Smiddy House in Spean Bridge Smiddy House and Russell’s Restaurant situated in the heart of Spean Bridge comes highly recommended, and we had been planning a visit for ages.

Dinner at The Etive Restaurant Blue skies and sunshine were promised for Valentine’s weekend so we did some last minute planning for a road trip West. We enjoyed an overnight stay at The Ranald Hotel in bustling Oban on Friday night and a hearty dinner at Coast restaurant. The next day we set sail on…
Loch Lomond Arms Hotel Wine Dinner We have passed the Loch Lomond Arms Hotel quite often on our travels and always thought that it looked like a smart coaching inn that would do decent pub food.
