Lovely write-up Marshall. My wife and I went there last year for our first wedding anniversary - was a lovely trip with first class people-watching potential!

My favourite Scottish hotel that I recommend to everyone is Foyers Lodge. One of the best "good tables" in a restaurant I've ever seen, and the whole place is beautifully done. Quite awkward to get to, so not exactly professional-lunch-appopriate, but worthy of a mention in the comments!

Wow! Great tip! We stayed in Fort Augustus in 2020 during a COVID-summer holiday. I'm thinking about heading back up that way this summer. Will definitely check it out. Thank you!!!

Super review. I last visited about ten years ago so I think I need to book again!

It was a superb experience and fully deserved the two stars it has held for so many years.

I do manage to secure a table at Glenlivet Lalique but cancelled when they demanded £200 up front. After reading more reviews it seems this is quite commonplace now.

Still seems a bit much for a destination restaurant.

I might reconsider but I will return to Andrew Fairlie first.

Thanks Alan. The prepay thing is now in place at virtually every tasting menu or high end restaurant, so a new fact of life I’m afraid. But do return to the AF. It was fantastic.
