A wonderful and entertaining Scottish experience - FABULOUS TIME!! My husband was afraid we’d only get haggis for dinner, but there were four main dish choices…one was vegan. This was a three course dinner. The two guys who sang Scottish songs were THE BEST!!! They engaged the group. There were about 30-40 people our night, and only 5 from the US. The evening was so enjoyable. And the haggis balls were pretty good (I tried them). There was an optional whiskey tasting we had paid for at the end, but we had enough whiskey tastings (we think they all taste like fireball whiskey), so we told the server to offer the whiskey tastes to the musicians. All around a good time…one of our favorites for the week.

Just a great night out! - Great atmosphere! Both music and food were wonderful! We were scared of what “traditional Scottish food” would be, but were very happy with the menu. Both Fish and Chips and Shepherd’s Pie were option. Definitely worth the money.

Scottish Dinner with live music - Although this was a nice evening with live music we did not feel it was value for money. We arrived prior to the evening starting and enjoyed a drink in the bar. When the bag piper turned up we needed to go back outside and stand on the street where it was freezing cold to listen to him. It was only enjoyable to stand out and watch him for a few minutes in the wind but we would have liked to enjoy his music for longer. Watching/taking photos of the Piper was a challenge amongst all of the pedestrians passing by infront of the restaurant and also those waiting to cross the road. When it was time to have dinner we were shown to the top level of the bar/restaurant which made for a small crowd which was lovely. Dinner was enjoyable as was the music but we did not feel that it was anything special. We payed the extra (15Euro pp) to have the Scotch Tasting as my husband and father love their Scotch Whisky. After dinner the waitress put the two glass tastings infront of us with no explanation. I asked her if we could look at the bottle so we would know what we were drinking. She confirmed she would bring it to us to look at but unfortunately she never returned to our table so after quite some time had passed we proceeded to try our Scotch we were given. We were extremely dissapointed when 20minutes later a German lady got up on the microphone and started to explain the Scotch and invited us to smell for the flavours and then drink it but we had already had ours due to the very poor communication. I personally think we could have got this experience and meal at any old pub in Edinburgh at a fraction of the price.

Great music and food - Music was fabulous and we learned a lot about highland music. The food was tasty and portions large. I was expecting traditional Scottish dress from wait staff but they were dressed contemporary. Overall experience was quite good.

Just OK-ish - Piper playing the Bagpipe for 15 minutes at the entrance. Band of two nice musicians playing and singing some classic folk songs. As soon as the Dessert is finished they quickly pack their stuff and leave. Salad for starters and Fish & Chips/Salmon as Main Course were good. HaggisBalls fried in Batter became soggy in the sauce and were neither authentic nor any good. Could not taste or recognize any Turnip (Neeps) in the mashed potatoes (Tatties). The sticky cake with ice cream for dessert are nothing special or traditional like Cranachan or Trifle would have been.

A bad night out - Piper was a no show & no apologies from host . Dinner was dreadful- cold Scoth Broth and haggis that tasted like spam Two guys trying to sing over loud music from downstairs. They mostly sang Irish songs , a very un Scottish night and extremely bad value for money . £260 for 3 people , major rip off
