Milk is our regular go to for breakfast/ brunch. We love it's relaxed atmosphere with it's creeping ivy and mis-matched furniture PLUS the french toast with bacon and maple syrup is definitely worth a visit.

The food here is absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. It can get quite busy on the weekends so try and get there early to avoid queues.

Hundreds of malt whiskies, varied in style, strength and maturity displayed above a traditional bar. (We haven't been here as we aren't big whisky drinkers but I'm told it's worth a visit)

Sightseeing

The lighthouse has a few interesting exhibits on but really this is good for the views. *Note you don't want to go the viewing platform that the lift takes you to but instead the one accessed via the massive spiral staircases. Ask at the help desk if you have trouble finding it

Parks & Nature

Interesting collection of artefacts housed in an impressive new building. The Burrell collection is in Pollock Country Park which is beautiful and you can even spot some Highland cows meandering about if you're lucky!
