Söderberg Bakery Shop
45 Broughton StGreat Sourdough bread, coffee and cinammon rolls.
Haggis & Whisky Bar, but actually looks more like a restaurant. Great Haggis. I prefer the vegetarian option that is more light.
If you go for the traditional meaty Haggis, maybe share with a friend as portions are quite big.
Add whisky sauce for a full experience!
