Visit Scotland have a great site called “Cafe Days” enabling you to find your perfect cafe. The featured cafes are independent cafes, often struggling to survive with the every expanding empires of the likes of Costa Coffee (which I refer to as Costalota) and Starbucks.
You can search for cafes on a regional map, when you click on the teacup a short description of the cafe appears. You can click for more detailed information about the cafe and other activities on offer in that area. Or you can search by type of cafe e.g. near walks, suitable for families, close to wildlife.
You can also print off recipe card so you can replicate some of the favourites at home.
There are four “Cafe Day Breaks” competitions on the site with prizes such as a stay in Auchen Castle in Dumfries including a Land Rover Experience and a full body massage.
Hello! I tried clicking on the links to enter the competition, but none of them worked. Is there a way to enter the competition? Thanks!
Heide – This post is from 2008. I many ways it’s better to only publish everygreen posts on the blog but at the same time I like to promote interesting competitions which are obviously time sensitive.
Okay, thanks for clarifying! I didn’t see that when I read it, but now I do.
