Lothian

Old inns from Ratho to Quality Street.

The inns around Edinburgh are old places with good kitchens and plenty of history. At Ratho, on the Union Canal west of the city, an inn by an old stone bridge serves Scottish produce and has live music. Balerno's village inn was restored in 2019 and has a sunny garden with heated bothies. Near Linlithgow, a family-owned inn has been known for its Scotch beef steaks and its wine for forty years. In North Berwick, a red sandstone pub a few steps from the harbour serves seafood and home cooking every day. Some have rooms, so you can stay the night after dinner.

The Balerno Inn.

On Balerno's Main Street, at the foot of the Pentlands, the Balerno Inn reopened in 2019 after a year of careful restoration, and it's family owned and run. The kitchen cooks hearty dishes with Scottish produce from local suppliers, from Sunday roasts to fish suppers, and there's a proper afternoon tea. The big draw is the garden, a sheltered suntrap with a row of heated timber bothies you can book for a group in any weather. Dogs are welcome in the bar, the garden and the bothies, and there are five rooms upstairs.

Issue 04Spring / Summer 2022

Jason Davidson, whose parents founded the Champany steakhouse with rooms near Linlithgow in West Lothian, says overnight guests are treated as part of the family.

As he puts it, 'We want them to enjoy the comfort of a home away from home, with fantastic food, wine and whisky'. Guests can arrive early, so there is time for a bath before getting ready for dinner. The steakhouse is the grand occasion, with carefully chosen wines to go with the steaks, and alongside it the Chop and Ale House serves more casual dishes such as burgers. The bedrooms look out over the gardens, and if you are not too full in the morning, breakfast is cooked to order.
