Scotland gained two new Stars at this year’s Michelin awards.
There are now 15 Michelin Star restaurants in Scotland, with luxury Highland hotel eatery 1887 at The Torridon and Killiecrankie House joining the list.
Four new Bib Gourmands are in Scotland including Sebb’s, The Clarence – both in Glasgow, Mara in Aberdeen and Angeethi by Sagar Massey in Cardonald.
Of 1887 at The Torridon, the Michelin inspectors said: ‘Situated on the banks of Upper Loch Torridon with majestic mountains in the background and manicured gardens outside, this vibrantly decorated restaurant inside The Torridon hotel is in a truly stunning location.
‘Exceptional Highlands produce is the bedrock of superbly balanced dishes that could be either classic or original in their make-up: from day-boat John Dory with a sublime roast chicken sauce, to the clever combination of white chocolate and rocket with preserved brambles. An extensive global whisky collection adds to the appeal.’

Highland restaurant with rooms, Killiecrankie House was praised for its tasting menu which ‘fuses Scottish produce, including some from their garden, with Japanese techniques’.
Three Scottish restaurants gained Michelin Green Stars – Timberyard, 1887 at The Torridon and The Free Company in Balerno.
And Alasdair Shaw from Sebb’s was awarded the Michelin Exceptional Cocktail Award.
The Michelin Guide said: ‘Sebb’s has had a great year, picking up both a Bib Gourmand and the Exceptional Cocktails Award for Head of Drinks Alasdair Shaw.
‘This restaurant and bar is a paradise for cocktail lovers, with a diverse list that ranges from timeless classics to slushies, shots and bespoke drinks with a creative streak.
‘One of our Inspectors found the miso and malt old-fashioned a particular highlight – a take on the classic with a round, buttery taste and a hint of passion fruit for freshness.’
