3 Best Restaurants in Stirling and the Central Highlands, Scotland

Don't miss it: in one corner of the square, off Callander's main street, a narrow door opens into a high-ceilinged old church hall crowded with good things to eat there or take away. You can order tasty soups, house-made cakes, and plump sandwiches from the counter, or try the excellent coffee or a glass of wine. The arched wooden ceiling and wooden floors, together with the wooden tables and shelves of food, somehow create a very homey setting.

This café with handmade wooden tables and windows overlooking the main town square offers excellent coffee and tea, sandwiches and burgers, platters, and soup in the central square of Aberfeldy.
