21. Rocpool
Rocpool is located in Inverness, Highlands & Islands. The Good Food Guide says: “ On the menu, Scottish ingredients are taken on a journey to more far-flung locations. Loin of Speyside venison might stay in the Highlands but the hand-dived West Coast king scallops are given a nudge towards the Mediterranean with baby chorizo, spring onion, crème fraîche and a lemon, garlic and parsley butter, while the ceviche of tuna takes a longer trip, seasoned with sesame, soy and chilli with creamed avocado, wasabi, lime and coriander.” | Good Food Guide
22. Scorrybreac
Scorrybreac is located in the Isle of Skye, Highlands & Islands. The Good Food Guide says: “ Big on foraging, Munro takes out one day each week to travel the Highlands in search of pickings such as hedgehog mushrooms, elderflowers and sea arrowgrass. The result is confident, creative cooking with a strong understanding of different food combinations.” | Good Food Guide
23. Edinbane Lodge
Edinbane Lodge is located in the Isle of Skye, Highlands & Islands. The Good Food Guide says: “The interiors might not make your pulse race, but the menu will. Immediately attention-grabbing is Calum Montgomery's focus on provenance. A separate sheet accompanying the 10-course taster lists the fishermen, foragers and crofters by name, many of whom are friends and family.” | Good Food Guide
24. The Three Chimneys
The Three Chimneys is located in the Isle of Skye, Highlands & Islands. The Good Food Guide says: “Davies' cooking is technical and rigorous but never overblown. He keeps his flavours pure so that everything tastes of itself yet retains traces of the satisfying, homely cooking that was Shirley Spear’s hallmark.” | Good Food Guide
