Hi Friends!
As I have mentioned before, I am a big planner when it comes to where we will be eating when we are on vacation and this is mostly just because I am so scared with my allergy of not having something to eat or causing problems with whatever group I am in or the horrible “I got glutened and my day is over” feeling. If you are traveling to Scotland soon, don’t worry at all! The few towns that we stopped in I had no problems finding something to eat, they were really great with gluten allergies. We stopped in Kirkwall, Dornoch and the Dunrobin Castle in the Northern Highlands and I found food in each place! There are only a few places on these lists because Scotland was only stops on our cruise, we didn’t spend a ton of time in each of these places but I will share those with you guys below!
Where to Eat Gluten Free around Scotland
Dornoch, Scotland
Milk + Honey - We stopped into this place for lunch on the way back to the cruise ship from visiting a castle and we were pleased with the food that we got! It was a little cafe and I got the yummiest tuna sandwich with cucumber and a side salad! We also got lattes and pie for dessert and it was SO SO GOOD! All of my food was gluten-free and they were very knowledgable of my allergy which was great!
Golspie, Scotland
The Tea Room - This was the little cafe that was at the entrance of the Dunrobin Castle but it was really yummy! They had a ton of things that were marked gluten-free. I ordered a cup of soup to go and it was so good! But one thing to note, you can’t take food on the tour so I should have had the soup while I was sitting there- just keep that in mind! But it was really good and definitely recommend it! My parents and Dustin had pastries that weren’t gluten free but they liked them and the lattes that we all got were also good!
Kirkwall, Scotland
Archive Coffee Shop - We stopped in here to get coffee and use their wifi for a few minutes to check on where my parents were and I am so glad we stopped because it was the cutest little coffee shop. We both got lattes and they were good! They also had a food menu but we weren’t eating. A great place to stop for a pick me up and to check on missed messages if you didn’t have service there like us! Haha
Harbour Fry Fish & Chips - I was SO happy to stumble upon this restaurant. It was on the main strip of shops and as you can see below, it literally said “ask about our gluten free options” and WOW was it yummy! The inside was small but like a fast paced diner almost. We ended up sharing a table with a couple and their Australian shepherd (some of you probably know we have two Aussies at home!!) and had the best time. It was great conversation with locals and was honestly the highlight of our day. The fish was crispy and delicious and 10/10 recommend eating here if you are visiting! Plus the staff was SO friendly! I can’t say enough good things about this spot!
Like I said, we were only in these spots when we got off the cruise ship on a couple of different days but for the time that we were there we found some good spots! There were some good traditional Scottish dishes as well as just some favorites that we found! Plus I was so happy to have found a plethora of gluten-free options that were actually delicious. Have you eaten at any of these spots? Let me know if you eat at any of these spots! If you have any questions you can comment below or as always you can send me an email at tarynintotravel@gmail.com and I will get back to you as soon as possible!
Much Love,
Emma
