Excellent Food
If you are planning a visit down to Ayrshire, make sure you don't miss out by dining at Ayrshires best kept secret - The Loudoun Hill Inn. It is situated on the main A71 road between Strathaven and Darvel facing the Loudoun Hill. From the outside it could be simply any side of the road pub restaurant. Once you are inside you quickly realise that this place could easily compete with some of the top UK restaurants. The food is absolutely delicious! The food and presentation is on a par to a few michelin star restaurants that I have been to, but without the high prices. For example, a braised shoulder of lamb on a bed of mash will set you back less than £15, but for the way it tastes you would easily part with more cash for it. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make you feel like their main priority and help create a relaxing atmosphere in which to dine. It is an ideal location for anyone seeking to impress someone special without spending a fortune like you do in Glasgow or Edinburgh.

Comedy Venue
Having visited the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) last night for a comedy gig, I was pleasantly surprised as to how good the venue was for a live show. Unlike a lot of the traditional theatres around the UK that still have old small seats and have you sitting about 3 miles higher than the stage feeling vertigo as you look down, the EICC is a clean large comfortable venue with great visibility from every seat. The sound too was really good for a stand up show. We could hear everything really clearly through what appears to be a top sound system. Would have no hesitation in booking another comedy gig at the same venue. There were also plenty of staff around that were keen to help you find your seat.
