A taste of Arran – literally

May 17, 2012 by Susan Leave a Comment

As well as doing lots of walking and swimming, we also found time to sample some really yummy food and treats on Arran:

Arran on a Plate – we went here for a meal one day and it was amazing. Lots of yummy salmon, lamb tagine and creme brulee were consumed here!

Most nights we had a cheeseboard of some description complete with Arran Cheese and Wooleys Outcakes – yum!

I’ve already mentioned the ‘Coffee Pot’ but Bilslands was also a good choice for coffee and cake in Brodick with great views looking towards Goat Fell.

Finally, Hooked and Cooked was our one (and only one available on the island) choice for fish and chips – again looking out towards Goat Fell made the meal very special.

  • The golden hour. #wick #caithness #scotland
  • YOU ARE INVITED 🎭 💃 🎞 // My preview of the March-June programme of theatre, dance, film and family events at @lythartscentre is now up on the blog. We love our local arts centre (the most northerly on the UK mainland) and if you’re in Caithness, you should have a copy of the programme winging its way through your letterbox this week! Thanks to Co-directors @tom_2mt and @cjmmountford12 for giving me a sneak peek at what’s coming up in the next few months! #lythartscentre #performingarts #caithness #nc500
  • 🐾 The perfect afternoon for dog walks on the beach 🐾 #Bartie #lifeofalab
  • I think I’ve found the best kept secret in Inverness - authentic, fresh Chinese food at the Scottish Highlands & Islands and Moray Chinese Association! Soups, rice dishes, dim sum and cloud like char Sui buns - served at lunchtimes only. Had to trawl through @msthain grid to remind myself of it’s existence a while back after talking about with @northhopmichelle . Blog post link in profile now! #inverness #highland #chopsticks #chinesefood #shimca #noodles #dimsum 🇨🇳
  • I used to run a baking club in Inverness until we moved up to Caithness in 2017. Now I’m going to give it a go up here - bakers of Caithness, join me for some home-baked goods and baking chat - give @caithnessbakingclub a follow on here and on Facebook, and share away! 🍰
  • Found my new favourite dish - spiced lamb with dates and red lentils from @georgiepuddingnpie ‘Stirring Slowly’ - With only 25 mins of easy prep and 2 hours in the oven, you have a stew with delicous Moroccan flavours. Already looking forward to having the leftovers with some harissa roasted veg later in the week! #slowsunday #slowcooked
  • Caithness is awful. Just shockingly bad. Don’t bother visiting.
