Excuse the silence, folks. Busy, busy up here just now.
No recipe today. Just a recommendation for somewhere to eat if you’re ever visiting the Inverness area.
Dores is a small village on the banks of Loch Ness. It’s only 10 minutes from my house and David and I often go for a walk along the stony beach there throwing sticks into the icy waters for Marco to rescue.
The wee pub at the entrance to the pebbly beach has always been a lovely place for a pint or a coffee but, quite frankly, the food used to suck. No more! Having been taken over by the folk who run the fabulous Ross-shire Storehouse, Dores Inn now serves reasonably priced, locally sourced, highly tasty food.
Delighted.
Won’t say anymore. Think you’ll get the idea from the few pictures I remembered to take. 🙂
A Wee Bit of Cooking 
Your blog makes me want to move back to Scotland. I’ve been following it for a while and loving it! We got our Maine Coon kitten around the same time you got Marco – he looks beautiful! Love your photos too :o)
Very picturesque Wendy! I will definitely have to visit sometime 🙂
Right now Dores seems the furthermost place in the world from very hot NSW Aus! If I ever (I wish) make to the Inverness area, I’ll be sure to add this place to the list of things to do!
looks like a place I would love to visit if only I was in the area!
Angela – Hello! And thank you. I’m off to Google Maine Coon cats now. Never heard of them. 🙂
Holler – Oh, do. It’s a lovely spot and the pub’s great.
Em – Anywhere hot and sticky seems like a universe away from here too! Hope the thought of Dores cooled you down for a second. 🙂
Johanna – Some day, perhap? 🙂
I think I might just need to make a trip to Inverness soon…
Looks like a great spot! What a pretty pub. And the food looks delicious – I can’t quite decide what the first dish is but it looks very good.
Oh sigh, that sounds and looks great…
Wow!!!!!!! What else can one say?
if I’m ever in Scotland….. I just finished a massive steak, but I want that food… in that setting!! I’m thinking honeymoon spot… ha.
cheers!
Next Saturday for lunch…..? After we have been running of course! x
