"I liked our last holiday house better," announces my niece on arrival at Gairnsheil Lodge's Laggan Cottage in the Scottish Highlands. The thing about six-year-olds is that they famously have very little taste, and this isn't the first thing we've disagreed on (other topics include bedtimes, what constitutes 'dinner' and how often you should brush your hair). You'd think for someone who was being treated to a bucket list holiday she'd have a little more respect.

Genuinely I'd lose my job. Plus, there's no fun in knowing. When Alan won, my husband and youngest son couldn't stop screaming and crying, and shouting, 'but you knew'.

with curated daily menus that focus on Scottish cuisine and highlight seasonal Highland ingredients. Upon request, and on celebratory nights in Scotland such as St. Andrew's Day and Burns Night, the restaurant serves up the ultimate Highland dining experience. The meal begins with the slicing of the haggis, recitations of Burns' poetry, and the classic foods traditionally served on Burns Night - haggis, neeps, and tatties - albeit with a distinctly upscale presentation.
