Drinks & Nightlife
Prestonfield House is a stunning 5 star hotel, with beautiful grounds- it even has Highland cows and peacocks and it's just around the corner from my place!
It's very expensive but I would still recommend popping in for a coffee/whiskey/wine to experience the Whiskey room, or for an afternoon tea in Rhubarb restaurant.
