For those of you planning a holiday in Scotland, the Horseshoe Inn at Eddleston, near Edinburgh, could be well worth a visit.
The establishment has been invited to join the exclusive club of the Great Inns of Britain and is only the second Scottish and 24th British property to do so.
With a seasonal menu that combines local Scottish produce with European flavours and influence, the inn's restaurant offers both a fine dining and informal bistro option.
Sir Thomas Ingilby, chair and co-founder of the Great Inns of Britain, said: "Each new member brings its own unique offer and characteristics, but all share the essential qualities of the Great Inns – historical charm, first class food and hospitality, coupled with excellent wines and real ales."
And with an AA Restaurant of the Year Award and an EatScotland Gold Award already under its belt, the Horseshoe Inn's Bardoulet's restaurant could make the perfect holiday meal.
Moreover, those heading to Scotland over the next few weeks can take their pick of the cultural events on offer, as the Edinburgh International Festival is taking place until September 5th.
