Seeing Animals at Cameron’s Tearoom and Farm Shop

Posted on February 21, 2025February 15, 2025 by Jupiter

On our quest to pet Highland Cows while staying at The Highland Club in Fort Augustus, we heard about Cameron’s Tearoom and Farm Shop. There wasn’t much to go off of for the venue, but with the idea of seeing cows in mind, we headed there. Cameron’s Tearoom & Farm Shop is on the smaller, cozy side when it comes to seating. There is a fireplace roaring in the middle, it feels like sitting in someone’s living room, and there are a bunch of different sports jerseys hanging on the wall. When we arrived, it was during the switch between the breakfast menu and lunch menu, where the tearoom doesn’t serve food for half an hour. I didn’t realize this was a thing, but they let us come in and check out the menu while we waited.

The Boathouse Restaurant – Beautiful Views of Loch Ness

Posted on November 29, 2024December 13, 2024 by Jupiter

While staying with Abbey Holidays at The Highland Club in Loch Ness, they recommended we eat at The Boathouse Restaurant, which is within view of the apartments that they rent. This little ma-and-pa style restaurant is one that has beautiful, stunning views of Loch Ness. The views themselves are enough to bring anyone to the area, but the food is also something we wanted to try and see if it lived up to the breathtaking views. The menu itself has a mix of Scottish food and Turkish food, as the owner is Turkish. I went for the Turkish options myself!

Weekend Away with Abbey Holidays in Scotland

Posted on November 12, 2024November 28, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] We are always looking to explore new places and a weekend away always feels like such a good time to reset. Dann and I actually went with Abbey Holidays Loch Ness, who put us up in The Highland Club in one of their apartments for three nights in the middle of the week, doing a sort of working from somewhere else trip. The Highland Club is right in Loch Ness, which neither of us had ever explored previously, so we were excited to be going to a new area!

Loch Ness is very touristy, it’s a place that feels ideal for a slow-paced holiday. The Highland Club is a short walk from Loch Ness, right at the top of the town. It’s easy to walk to restaurants, take an explore around Loch Ness, and even take a cruise through the middle. We spent a lot of our time relaxing on this holiday, which was just what we needed! This place is ideal for families as well as individuals just looking to get away and connect in nature. As we went in Autumn, all of the mountains and leaves were absolutely beautiful – it was like something out of a fairy tale.

A Day Out at Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) Glasgow

Posted on June 10, 2024October 15, 2024 by Jupiter

While exploring Scotland, spending one day in each city, I wanted to check out a local cultural place each day! On my third and final day, I went to the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Glasgow. This art gallery was a decent size and easy to explore in a day. Unlike some of the other galleries and museums I had visited in Scotland, this one did not focus on just Scottish art. This gallery is split into for different galleries, a library, a cafe and a little gift shop, all packed in one really beautiful looking building.

A Day Out to The McManus – Dundee’s Art Gallery and Museum

While in Dundee, I went to The McManus – an art gallery and museum with a big focus on Dundee throughout history. There are a total of eight galleries within this museum, that explore both the history of Dundee and the art that has been created there. This museum was originally built as a memorial to Prince Albert, but over the years has been added to and changed.
