MOSKITO, GLASGOW
Moskito, the Bath Street nightclub, reopened its doors this week with a trendy makeover. Moskito Bar and Kitchen now serves dishes, "from the earth, sea, and land," as well as speciality smoked meals prepared in a tandoori fire oven. During the week, I attended the VIP launch, and the stylish venue also has one of the most interesting and creative cocktail lists I've seen. It's a place to be seen, with Instagrammable features aplenty throughout its opulent interior.
ROOFTOP YOGA, THE GLASSHOUSE, EDINBURGH
The Glasshouse Hotel in Edinburgh has launched a summer series of yoga events on its rooftop. The luxury hotel has partnered with Sweaty Betty Edinburgh to host complimentary Sunday classes at 10am on July 4th, 11th and 18th, and August 1st. Open to all. Attendees also get a £15 voucher to spend in-store and can sign up here: https://sweatybetty.instabook.io/. Food and drink is very much a main event at this impressive establishment, with their rooftop dinner menu offering an array of Scottish foods.
WILD DINING, JUPITER ARTLAND, OUTSIDE EDINBURGH
With a series of ten wild dining events, Jupiter Artland near Wilkieston in Edinburgh is the place to be this summer. On dates between Thursday 1st July and Saturday 28th August, Edinburgh chef Barry Bryson will host pop-up events in the woodlands at the contemporary sculpture park and art gallery.
Chef Barry, who was named Scotland's Banqueting and Events Chef of the Year last month, has created a one-of-a-kind sensory experience for foodies and nature lovers alike, with a four-course menu served under a shaded canopy of branches and twinkling lights. Dishes will be garnished and presented with wild edibles foraged from the grounds of stunning Jupiter Artland.

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
