Killiecrankie House
Killiecrankie House in Perthshire re-opened this week with a new restaurant and five wonderfully designed bedrooms, delivering a little piece of luxury and gastronomy in the Cairngorm National Park. Guests can enjoy a new dinner and cocktail menu in the Drawing Room, which overlooks the kitchen gardens and fruit trees, or in the bijou Cocktail Bar. I think it's time I planned a road trip north.

Beat 6
The team behind the Six by Nico family of restaurants have confirmed a November opening for their new charitable restaurant in Glasgow. Beat 6, which will make its home on Whitehill Street, Dennistoun, will serve a delicious combination of food and social good. Profits will go towards the Beatson Cancer Charity, which supports the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre. The 34-cover restaurant will have a rotating tasting menu that honours some of the most popular dishes created by the Six By Nico team since opening their first restaurant in Glasgow in 2017.

Edinburgh Cocktail Week
Scotland's largest cocktail festival returns from this Monday to Sunday, October 24. With 100 partner bars, the event has a cocktail menu that festival goers can enjoy for £4 a piece at all the venues taking part. Classic Movies and Champagne Cocktails at The Scotsman Picturehouse, as well as Cocktail Cruises along the Union Canal, are among the customised experiences, as is the Edinburgh Cocktail Week Cocktail Village in Festival Square, which serves as a haven for sophisticated drinkers (exactly where I'll be found...)

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
