Scottish produce with an earthy Glasgow influence - great food worthy of the Citizens of the city.

The Scran & Scallie, Edinburgh
Edinburgh's leading gastro-pub, The Scran & Scallie, has truly established itself as a genuine neighbourhood pub with good food at its heart. Located in trendy Stockbridge with extensive menus that follow a ‘Nature to Plate’ philosophy and focus on the classical and the local. I went there recently and have to say their Steak Pie is probably one of the best I've ever had!

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 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
