Wandered into the Copper Dog (since it was the only place that had food at 3pm). Quaint and rustic and just what you would imagine in the countryside of Scotland. Finally tried haggis bon bons for the first time and ordered 3 types of local cheeses. The haggis was much more tasty than were originally led to believe. Although it's a mix of heart, liver and lung minced up - it was served deep fried in a bon bon (haggis ball) with a whisky sauce and a wee bit of lettuce. The local cheeses were also tasty served with oat crackers (not as much a fan). The haggis bon bons were so good we ordered another plate to share between the 3 of us. Had a huge array of whisky, beer and wine available. ordered the steak pie, fish and chips and haggis and cabbage. Everything was so good.

For lunch 6 of the 7 us ordered mushroom soup and venison pie. Best lunch we have on our holiday aka our vacation. The service was also incredible. The chef and hostess were delightful.

However, I didn't want them to get in the way of my being able to tackle the HOT and so tasty skewered chicken, Italian sausage, peppers and onions and the delicious light salad with drizzled dressing, and so I devoured them from their side plate.

Greens Market here in the Highlands of Northern Scotland just killed us at dinner last night. I mean it was as good as any 5 Star restaurant we have at home (L.A., S.F., NYC). Each thing on there menu read like any gourmet place where jackets are required. Yet here I was in golf clothes and loving it. Located in the city of Tain, I had duck spring rolls with a husan sauce as a starter and a crab linguine as a main course that was delicious. The others in my party had halibut and beef cheeks; all of which was fantastic. A bottle of red and white wine, this dinner goes in my memory book!

I stayed for quite awhile looking at my genealogy on my computer and no one minded.

That was the case here, as two young women seemed to split the service for our group of five. Neither one seemed to feel any responsibility for our table, or to be interested in actually serving. Just ordering water was a chore. There were mistakes in the drinks and food order, eventually rectified. But they saved the worst for the end. We told each in unmistakable terms that we would like to box/wrap approximately half of three meals so that we could enjoy desserts. Later, after the food taken away failed to re-appear, we were told, "There's been a bit of a mix-up." All the food had been thrown away. I feel badly for saying so, because the food was excellent and the venue a pleasant one. But this was the most lackadaisical service we received in five weeks of European travel.
