Food Scene

This a fantastic cafe right on the beach front, next to the boat club. Serves delicious, ethically sourced and local (where possible) food. It is also open in the evening, when you can get fabulous sharing platters and fine wine - lovely spot on a Summer's evening, where you can sit outside and watch the boats out on the Forth as the sun goes down!

Expensive, but delicious hand baked pastries and bread. Also serves great coffee. Good place to stop en route to a walk on the beach.

On the High Street and just a short walk from the promenade, The Skylark is spread across what was formerly two separate shops, and its quirky layout works well with its many identities. Is it a coffee shop? Is it a bistro? Is it a bar? The truth is, it's a bit of everything. By day, there's a great selection of breakfast and lunch options, from morning rolls to light salads and croque madames, which fit in well with the rustic French decor. When the sun goes down the candles come out, along with a sophisticated evening menu that'll leave you spoiled for choice. It's child friendly too, until 10pm! Mon and Tuesday 10am-5pm and Wed - Sat 10am - midnight and Sunday 11am - 10pm

Pretty, old village beside a Loch and beside Arthur's Seat. The old Kirk and gardens are a lovely to wander around and you can walk around the Loch - great for bird walking. Great, ancient traditional pub called The Sheep Heid which also sells great pub grub - a must for a traditional Sunday Lunch. Has an our door beer garden and a skittle alley (which you need to book in advance)
