White Heather Tea Room

I wanted an opportunity to get all of my women supporters together – moms, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, nieces, girlfriends, mentors and more – so I booked us all for high tea at the White Heather. For less than 1/3 the price per head of some of the more famous local teahouses, and in a much more casual atmosphere, we ate til we fell down, drank from china teacups, and were pampered excessively by the proprietresses (with authentic Scottish accents to go with the authentic Scottish food). The food was amazingly good – traditional tea fare with a gourmet twist, everything fresh and local and made on site. They catered to the children among us, soothed stressed parents, provided alternate dishes for ladies with allergies, refilled countless teapots, and basically let us take over half of the restaurant for several hours. It was a wonderful way to relax before our ceremony, and a lovely gift to the wonderful women in my life. Highly recommended, whether you want tea for two or a large party. Book ahead, as reservations book early and the tearoom is not open on holidays.
