One's in the old station and a more expensive one which was Russell's. It was quite expensive, but we got great wine, wonderful fish starters... More

This restaurant came recommended by the owner of the cottage we are staying in and we are very happy we tried it out. We both had three courses, each and every dish faultless, a beautiful meal to end our holiday here in gorgeous Scotland. The staff were very friendly and attentive and added to a very pleasant evening. More

Had a good meal in Russell's last week. The service was the highlight - very attentive and friendly. Nice to get a drink in the lounge, and be able to return there for coffee after dinner.
