Easter in Scotland

[BillandHelen]

We are normally abroad for Easter in the van, usually Spain or Germany but as we are bookended by 2 other family holidays, it’s 10 days in Scotland for us!

Weather looks actually not too bad, mix of sunshine and showers, was quite warm when we packed up at the storage area this morning.

We are starting off with a few days in St Andrews, so we stopped off at Balgove Larder, a great farm shop with a super cafe.

We are now safely ensconced on our full service pitch at Craigton Meadows, right beside the country park and with the local bus stop at the entrance.

It’s all a bit slopy but the levellers coped (just!). Not bad for £30 a night in Easter week.

Been a lovely day up here on the East Coast, town is full of tourists, lots of golfers on the links hoping to play like Rory!

Americans everywhere, we got caught up in a party of them whilst looking round the castle.

Had a lovely lunch very lunch in a chip shop/restaurant called Tailend, they also own the fishmongers so great choice and everything fresh that morning. Had lovely prawns, scallops and delicious monkfish washed down by a very nice New Zealand Sauvignon, not your usual chippy!!

My son is at uni at St Andrews - it’s a lovely place to visit. He gets student golf membership so plays a different course each week. Such a privileged existence! We love the Balgove larder too. Try the Cottage Kitchen for lunch if you’re staying. Enjoy!

We love the Balgove larder too.

The square sausage Balgove sell in their butchery is excellent.
