Review: Road Hole Restaurant, St Andrews
The old favourite Road Hole Restaurant in St Andrews retains arguably the best dining views over a golf course in the world, but the menu has recently evolved.

This year has been one characterised by pleasant surprises, but few have come more out of the blue than this cracking little restaurant inside a hotel on Edinburgh University grounds just off Salisbury Crags, says Richard Bath.

It’s print deadline week at Scottish Field. It’s always fun (and games) making sure everything is just so before we send another issue off to the printer. So, when the opportunity to pop out for a post-work burger with my awesome colleagues popped up it was a great way to enjoy some quality time away…
