I want to show you some of my favorite cafes in the Scottish Highlands.
These absolutely do not
include every single cafe, I have only visited a few,
I only have budget to visit a few,
but I do still hope you can appreciate this video
and these travel tips. And if you see
any cafe that you would really like to visit,
then please do so on your next Scotland trip.
Most of you are probably traveling to Skye
and so I want to give this tip to you first.
This is the Bock Myrtle Cafe, I hope I pronounce it right.
It is a really cozy cafe with loads of coffee and pastry options.
It can get really busy so I recommend
to reserve before you go especially during the peak season
but if you go I highly recommend their breakfast
and lunch menu because it is so good.
Next up is Hillbillies.
It is quite in the remoter part of the Highlands. I don't think
many of you know it, because it is along the NC500,
but not entirely on the route. So you might
or might not pass by, but if you can,
I highly recommend to visit, because it's a really cozy
cafe, and next door to the cafe,
they have their own independent bookshop.
In this bookshop there are lots
of different sections and genres of books
and they have a specific section for cat protection.
These are all books with cats as main characters which is really cool.
I bought one book which is called The Ghost Cat.
It is set in Edinburgh.
It's a historical fiction and I really liked reading it.
Then we go further up north where we visit Cocoa Mountain.
This is a chocolate cafe so you've got
everything that you can imagine but chocolatey.
They do have coffees but their specialty is
chocolate. I highly recommend to take a little box
with you on your travels. A bit more in the middle
of the highlands we've got the Pier Cafe in Lairg.
It is a really nice cafe with beautiful seating
along the loch so I highly recommend it on a sunny day.
Another one in the area a bit more up north
and this one is full on to the NC500. So if you're
driving the NC500 you will definitely pass this place.
It is called Burrs of Tongue. It is a
bakery and a cafe and a bookshop
which makes it one of my favorite on this list. Because if you
haven't realized it yet I'm telling you
these places in order of my favorite. So if you're
So if you're driving past, please go ahead and support them.
One of my favorite cafes in the Highlands
is the Glen Lyon Tea Room and Post Office.
Every time I visit Scotland I am definitely visiting this place.
They have their own bakery,
they make everything themselves
and when you're supporting this place you're supporting a local
independent shop and community.
So please go ahead, reserve your table or maybe not if you
want to do takeaway. Thank you so much for watching.
This was a quite short video but
But I still hope you really enjoyed it.
I will be visiting Scotland again at the end of this video.
end of this year. thank you so much and see you next time!
