Glen Lyon Tearoom

A traditional setting with a very contemporary outlook makes this Perthshire oasis a favourite. Located in one of the prettiest glens in Scotland, the family run site includes a shop, off-licence and post office as well as a tearoom. The menusticks to what the family does best –home-made soups and lovingly prepared cakes and scones. Unusually for a tearoom, they also roast their own coffee.
