Where to stay

Just 45 minutes from Edinburgh, The Bonnie Badger (left) in Gullane backs onto dunes and offers a Scandi-scottish blend of bare brick and white linen to partner with a dram of local whisky (B&B from £175; bonniebadger.com). Its relaxed menus, created by Michelin-starred chef Tom Kitchin, take ‘gastropub’ to a new level. More traditional ‘antlersand-wood’ stylings can be found at Fa-side Castle, where a 14th-century tower room comes with Firth of Forth views (B&B from £135; faside-estate.com).
