What an exceptional post to look at when you’re hungry! 😂

September marks Scottish Food & Drink month but it also marks the start of the ‘Ber months 🍂 so here are some of our favourite comfort dishes from over the last few years!

Have you tried any of these dishes at Pierhouse? Any you particularly like the look of? There’s a bouillabaisse on the menu right now, we’ll introduce you in the coming weeks, it’s one of the greatest. Of all time.

As you were 😋

Scotland will soon look like this 🍂

Our favourite season is coming to Scotland and we cannot wait for seasonal warming dishes, books, hot chocolates by the fire, crunchy walks, cosy jumpers and that gorgeous palette that falls across the Highland hills and woodlands.

We are ready 🍁

Autumn in Scotland moments at Pierhouse 🍁🧡

We are looking forward to lots of slow living, rested travel and relaxed moments on the west coast this Autumn, with plenty of warmth, coorie and nature’s beauty. A reminder that going gently as the seasons change can feed your soul like nothing else (well, other than our kitchen team 😁)

Come see us this autumn for true Scottish hospitality and escapism 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Last minute availability for tonight! 🦞🌊

Due to a couple of cancellations, we have a twin sea view room and a superior sea view room available for this evening, a Friday… which almost never happens in August 😂

If you’re reading this right now and thinking, “could this be for me?” You would be correct😉. A Friday evening at a coastal escape on the west coast with only the best local food and only the freshest sea breeze, will do you wonders.

A grey day in Scotland 🩶

Of course we love a sunny day on the west coast but Scotland really does come into her own when the weather’s just that bit moody. Everything looks so much more atmospheric.

So a reminder to explore, whatever the weather 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A fan favourite, our Arbroath Smokie soufflé with Mull Cheddar 😋

A staple at any time of the year but imagine this in Autumn, on a crisp day, after a walk to Clach Thoull taking in all the lovely colours of the season. Perfect.

I know, I know, we’re not rushing summer, we just like to be organised so… this is absolutely your sign to come and visit us in Autumn 😉

An oyster farm tour on the shores of a Scottish sea loch 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️

Looking for something a little bit different to do in Scotland? You won’t regret going loch-side and taste testing Scottish oysters right at the source. You’ll just never get them fresher 🦪

Proud to prep delicious Caledonian Oyster Co Ltd oysters at Pierhouse but also to support a brilliant local business!
