Restaurant Review

Foraging and palaeolithic diets are so fashionable, you’d think people harked back to the bad old days of being hunter gatherers. Although I could have bought into the outfits – furry loincloths, deer...

Lochgoilhead, in Argyll, is not easy to get to. Approached from the Glasgow side down a winding single-track road leading from the Rest and Be Thankful, or via an equally hair-raising route from Strachur,...
