The Dungeon Restaurant at Dalhousie Castle
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"A rich history and loads of character."
Overview
Hidden in wooded parkland on the banks of the River Esk, 13th-century Dalhousie Castle boasts an impressive history as it was built to protect the Midlothian lands of the Ramsay Clan. Low lighting and suits of armour on the walls adds to the ambience of the restaurant, which combines top-class Scottish produce with international flavours on regularly changing tasting menus.
