Walk along the ‘pretty’ towpath of the historic Union Canal and look in on the ‘huge, interesting’ walled garden in the grounds of Ratho Hall – ‘it’s the source of much of the delightful food you’ll eat’ at Graham and Rachel Bucknall’s ‘characterful’ restaurant-with-rooms on the water.

The humble, white-painted frontage of this former coaching house on the road to Edinburgh belies the Minto family’s handsomely refurbished yet ‘down-to-earth’ gastropub-with-rooms.
