A firm local favourite, Montpeliers has an amazing (and extensive) menu to satisfy every craving from breakfast to dinner, coffee to cocktails. Would definitely recommend but book a table at the weekend to avoid disappointment.

Exploring Scotland

If you’re here for a slightly longer trip, it’s definitely worth exploring some of what Scotland has to offer
A short hop on the train from Edinburgh, Glasgow is a port city on the River Clyde in Scotland's western Lowlands. It's famed for its Victorian and art nouveau architecture, a rich legacy of the city's 18th–20th-century prosperity due to trade and shipbuilding. Today it's a national cultural hub, home to institutions including the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland, as well as acclaimed museums and a thriving music scene. Top three things to do while you’re there: - Kelvingrove Art Gallery and museum - Riverside Museum - Glasgow Science Centre
