We took advantage of the stunning weather and decided to head off and be a bit touristy for the day. We headed north over the Forth Bridge and made our way to Kinross which sits next to Loch Leven.
Loch Leven is a giant space of water surrounded by walking paths. Although there is an old castle on an island in the middle, because of wild migration, you cant visit during the winter months.
The sun was shining but the wind was a bit biting so we headed back to the car to find something to eat for lunch. A sign by the road pointed us in the direction of Loch Leven's Larder which rang with possibility and once we had squeezed into the only space left in the car-park we headed into this little haven on the banks of the Loch. Inside there was a large tall ceilinged barn conversion that had large windows over-looking the sun dappled water and an eclectic decor.
It took a little while for us to be seated which gave us time to pick up some 'Wicked Chocolate' dark chocolate buttons from the shop. We went for the good old baked potato - me with prawns(in a tomato and chili sauce), hubby with tuna (with creme fraiche and dill).
While we were waiting a neighbour ordered the tea menu and a proper high tea stack arrived with little sandwiches, carrot cake, scones, meringues, tiffin and tea. Well, I regretted my choice slightly but it was only 1pm so it felt a little early in the day but it did look awesome.
Our bakers arrived and they were really tasty served with a lovely salad and a very fragrant rice salad on the side too. YUM.
Next time I am coming back for the tea... definitely.
