Read moreLovely atmosphere, very friendly staff. Beautiful views out over the Moray Firth. We had delicious carrot cakes in the style of a "fairy cake". Next time we'll have lunch, and I'm sure it will be five stars then. Must go back just to make sure! Other businesses inside The Platform are. a gift shop(could have spent a fortune), and a clothes shop(where you'd need a fortune in the first place) . Another area, not finished yet, looked as if it would specialise in outdoor pursuits. All in all, a not so...
