The Cabin is a pretty unique sort of place, one of those that should be visited at least once in every life. There is one sitting per night, and ideally you make up a table of like-minded souls, for reasons that will become apparent, and book in advance.

The meal is table d'hote and consists of three courses of imaginative quality Scottish food with more than a hint from across the Irish Sea. Frequent encounters are guinea fowl with parsnip puree and griddled salmon with seafood risotto and their soda bread is legendary.

Food on one side the other highlight of the evening is, by tradition, an extempore performance of operatic arias and the like by Wilma, the singing waitress, in which as the pace gathers momentum, you are more than likely to be asked to participate.
