Hinterland — Restaurant in Scotland

The hinterland isn't a definite recommendation, but it's not a complete no-go either. The soup of the day was very plain, but with salt and pepper, good.

The bacon in particular was as good as any I've had and the thick, brown toast was almost unbelievably good. The unusual addition of leaves and balsamic, rather than simply being a garnish, actually enhanced my breakfast. Thoroughly recommended, the staff went out of their way to provide me with a breakfast that was off menu and it cooked and delivered with style and panache. Quite...
