First taste
Gloagburn Farm has much to offer: a farmyard with cows, pigs and hens, a play area where little imaginations can run wild, a farm shop and a spacious, beautifully-designed coffee shop where all food is homegrown, home-produced and homemade. With all the natural light, pale decor, solid wood furniture and glorious views over the countryside, it's the perfect place to enjoy everything from tea and scones to chilled wine and freshly baked cheese souffles.
One slice or two?
The range of home baking is outstanding in quality and choice. A typical day sees the glass cabinet filled with glossy strawberry tarts, empire biscuits, rich gingerbread, lemon meringue pie, pecan pie, rhubarb and cinnamon cake, carrot cake, traybakes, scones and a very voluptuous-looking berry pavlova. Average cost is £2.95 per slice.
Critic's choice
For the ultimate feel-good bake, try the apple, pear and cranberry crumble tart served warm with a dusting of icing sugar (or ice-cream, custard, cream…)
Between the generous fruit filling and that wonderfully short, crumbly topping which is so appealing, it makes for the perfect comfort food.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
