Just a great night out! - Great atmosphere! Both music and food were wonderful! We were scared of what “traditional Scottish food” would be, but were very happy with the menu. Both Fish and Chips and Shepherd’s Pie were option. Definitely worth the money.

Great music and food - Music was fabulous and we learned a lot about highland music. The food was tasty and portions large. I was expecting traditional Scottish dress from wait staff but they were dressed contemporary. Overall experience was quite good.

Just OK-ish - Piper playing the Bagpipe for 15 minutes at the entrance. Band of two nice musicians playing and singing some classic folk songs. As soon as the Dessert is finished they quickly pack their stuff and leave. Salad for starters and Fish & Chips/Salmon as Main Course were good. HaggisBalls fried in Batter became soggy in the sauce and were neither authentic nor any good. Could not taste or recognize any Turnip (Neeps) in the mashed potatoes (Tatties). The sticky cake with ice cream for dessert are nothing special or traditional like Cranachan or Trifle would have been.

Good evening out - Signing in was a bit chaotic as in the street outside the restaurant. The upper floor where the dinner was - very nicely done and with nice table settings. It was hot inside though, making the dining experience a bit uncomfortable. Food was reasonably good and served efficiently. Band was extremely good.

A bad night out - Piper was a no show & no apologies from host . Dinner was dreadful- cold Scoth Broth and haggis that tasted like spam Two guys trying to sing over loud music from downstairs. They mostly sang Irish songs , a very un Scottish night and extremely bad value for money . £260 for 3 people , major rip off
