A nice, wee, very, traditional Scottish pub called the "Canny Man's" It has a good wine list, an exceptional selection of single malt whiskies. It's been around since 1871. In Morningside at 237 Morningside Road. Also on Morningside Road is Loopy Lorna's tea house, with loose-leaf teas, freshly baked cakes, yummy sandwiches and there's also a daily "hot dish". You could pick up a souvenir in Morningside as there's lots of little shops, maybe artwork from a local artist from one of the little art shops.
Lots to see and do - I hope this of interest to you have a great time.
