The family-run House of Menzies is a unique example of what can happen when Scottish farmers decide to diversify. The doocot and barn at this working farm have been imaginatively converted into a bright, contemporary space, housing no less than a bustling café, an up-market gift shop, a gallery of local artists and an award-winning New World Wine specialist. The wines here are clearly selected with knowledge and passion, and include some of the greats of Australia and New Zealand in particular, plus there's a good whisky selection. Food available includes fresh soups and salads, sandwiches and burgers, as well as home-made cakes and bakes.
