The atmospheric dining room next door to the popular Shore pub is a haven of wood-pan-
elled peace, with old photographs, nautical knick-knacks, fresh flowers and an open fire
adding to the romantic theme. The menu changes daily and specialises in Scottish seafood
and game, with an all-day bar menu that includes haddock and chips and seafood pie.
