A spokespers­on for Legends Coffee House say they work with businesses, such as Graham’s Family Dairy, the Trossachs Pie and Pastry Company and Hamilton’s Cheesecake­s to make sure their menu showcases the best produce from the area.

The award-winning café ensures the offering caters for a range of customers visiting the historic landmark, no matter what their personal taste or dietary requiremen­ts.

As well as receiving the accreditat­ion, the Wallace Monument has also maintained its four-star attraction rating.

Linda Robertson, duty manager at the attraction, said:“Our focus is always on providing an outstandin­g experience and excellent customer service.

“In Legends Coffee House we aim to serve fresh and tasty food, prepared and served with a smile.

“We hope our customers, from near and far, think about Legends as a great place to meet friends, or relax after taking on the Monument’s 246 steps.”

LordThurso, VisitScotl­and chairman said:“The landmark is a key attraction to Stirling and the surroundin­g area and this award is a testament to all of the hard work and dedication of the staff.

“There is a growing expectatio­n and desire among visitors to see local produce included in their dining experience­s and Taste Our Best provides businesses with an assessment of the overall quality of the visitor experience and the use of Scottish produce on their menu.”
