A list of predominantly old-world wines, from Soave Classico to a 2015 Grand Cru Burgundy are available at your own cost to complement each dish. After dinner, a whisky tasting at Bar 1745 awaits.On your second day, you’ll be invited to a private clay pigeon shooting lesson followed by an indulgent five-course Scottish taster menu, showcasing classic Scottish cuisine, from rabbit and pheasant ballotine to ‘game of vin’ slow cooked to perfection. For the adventurous out there, this is the experience for you.
