My husband and I went to Dean's village as we heard about the scenic walkway which was of course beautiful. We had made it to the end and we were exhausted. We came upon Murrayfield Bar and decided to give it a try and we were so glad we did! The bar is under new ownership and one of the owners could not have been more welcoming and delightful!

It was all a...

I can only suggest you trundle a few steps down the road to the Roseburn or in the case it’s full ,just go to the Tesco.
