Jupiter Artland, just a short drive away from the city centre, is the home of sculpture. It's difficult to imagine the city when you arrive in this retreat-esque landscape: the perfect place to locate the calmness within your whirlwind city break, and to look at some tremendous sculptural feats. 

Tucked away within the idyllic Gleneagles hotel is Andrew Fairlie, a restaurant still boasting the title of Scotland's longest-standing two Michelin-starred spot. The dishes are as ludicrously tasty as they are aesthetic, so settle down for a four course feast fusing French classics with Scottish personality. 

In the foothills of the Pentlands, The Free Company is part regenerative farm, part restaurant and wholly a love letter to seasonal food. Housed in a converted dairy barn, long communal tables host laid-back feasting built from what’s growing just metres away: vegetables from the no-dig market garden, pasture-raised meat and house ferments. The whole family-run operation is closed loop – farm, kitchen and soil working together – earning the restaurant a coveted Michelin Green Star for sustainability. Look out for the pop-up farm shop, too.
