After two nights and a wonderful day in Edinburgh, it was time to continue our three week epic…read morethrough the British Isles by heading to Manchester. We left Scotland's capital at about ten o'clock and took nearly 45 minutes to escape the city, primarily due to tour buses and commercial vehicles on the Royal Mile. But escape the capital we did, and once we passed the City Of Edinburgh Bypass, we suddenly found ourselves seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Quite the contrast to cities in America that seem to stretch out forever. The A702 took us through a series of towns, eventually depositing us in the village of Biggar, where it was time to refresh ourselves. Now, one would think this would be a perfect java experience. In the midst of rural Scotland on a very green country road, picturesque small town, quaint architecture. But something wasn't quite right - perhaps the cashier had had a bad start to her morning, but she just didn't seem too excited to be serving us. Perhaps it was our West Coast Accents. Perhaps it was because we knew what we wanted when we ordered. Or maybe she just sucked. Regardless, we didn't seem very welcome here, so we collected our order and proceeded south. The drinks we did get were adequate.

But don't let that put you off, just make sure you allow plenty of time if you are coming to eat. Situated in the middle of nowhere, they are a fully organic farm selling their own meat and veg, with a fantastic range of other organic products in their farm shop; and they also use nearly all their own produce in their lovely cafe. If you are passing, make a point of stopping off here to browse in the shop or have a snack. If you are on the south side of Edinburgh, it's only 20 minutes or so in the car to get here and is well worth the effort. I had a couple of hours free, so I drove out from Edinburgh for lunch. On the menu, the hake and fennel fishcakes caught my eye, so I ordered those with some sweet potato wedges on the side. The fishcakes were delicious (even if they did have to buy those in), as were the sweet potato wedges. With a Belvoir ginger beer to wash it down, I was well satisfied. As I wasn't in a rush, I decided to follow with a slice of polenta cake and a coffee. The cake was a little on the dry side - I guess maybe polenta cake isn't their best-seller - and the coffee, although perfectly fine, was maybe not the best I've ever had. But the place was quiet, and for under £20 it was a pretty reasonable and high-quality lunch. So do go and patronise this place, they are doing wonders on a shoestring to promote organic farming practices and food; it so deserves your support. They do home delivery organic veg boxes too - what are you waiting for?

A lovely 30 minute drive from my flat brought me here, through a lot of twisty-roads and beautiful country. On arrival, we got given the ugly duckling table of the place, ie not by the window. But after a group left managed to secure ourselves a few of the rolling hills and torrential rain. The menu is great, with a huge variety and GF/veggie options. I had the seafood platter which was huge, as in I struggled to finish it. (Obviously did). No half-portions here, 5 or 6 prawns, a huge helping of salmon, same with the mackerel pate and some incredible oatcakes with salad and dressing. The Dear Green coffee was bitter and black and just how I like it. My heart did want the Salted Caramel Cake with popcorn but it looked slightly too sickly. I opted for a classic brownie and was not disappointed. My friend's meringue with fruit compote and cream was mammoth! Well worth a drive, you can pre-book tables which I would definitely advise. Thanks to Imogen, our waitress who was just lovely despite how busy it was. Can't wait to try the Port Glasgow branch

Having been to their Quarriers Village location and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was quite happy to get…read morethe opportunity to sample the sisters' newest cafe on a cold, but sunny afternoon. This location is a little easier to get to as it's situated in Killearn town hall. Arriving at just before 2, the immediately obvious difference between the 2 locations was that this is much busier than Quarriers. The place was mainly occupied by the lunching ladies of sub-suburbia, save for the odd lunching worker/working luncher. Due to the lunchtime rush the staff seemed to be a wee bit stretched, (the poor folk next to me had to ask for a latte a couple of times before the server came back to say she'd forgotten what they'd asked for), but thankfully I had no problems with the service. I had the tasting platter at the Quarriers location, so of course I ordered it again (after all it was tasty!). When it came out it looked the same, but somehow it was lacking some of its previous magic. Of course I couldn't leave without trying one of their amazing looking cakes from the counter, I went with the flourless tangerine cake (yes it is GF), which was fragrant and not too dry, it had a texture not totally dissimilar to polenta cake. Now it maybe second season syndrome or it could just be a matter of over familiarity, but there does seem to be something missing from Quarriers in this location. I don't know whether it was down to the time of day (I visited Quarriers towards the quieter end of lunch), the fact that this is a somewhat new cafe or down to the glass & white wall environs, as I said it just wasn't the same.. Don't let that put you off trying the place out though, it's still a good cafe, serving good food & the view out across the hills is really beautiful (especially with all the snow). If I taste not time were the issue I'd choose Quarriers Village over Killearn, but otherwise you'll probably choose Killearn for its convenience & almost as good food.

The name kinda gives you a clue as what to look for and sure enough there is a big red barn - funny that! But the wee cafe inside said barn is really well done, light and airy in pale blues, natural wood and lots of white. The cake table is very cleverly positioned between the door and the seating meaning you have to peruse the cakeage on your way to sitting down. Another place diets go to die, my favourite! The staff were quick, pleasant and chatty when we initiated conversation. I prefer it that way, I hate having to endure small talk when the kids are causing havoc and I'm in serious danger of D&T's from caffeine deprivation. They get it just right in here and lots of kudos for that. Everybody was delighted with their cake and drink, especially smudge who went all out with a hot chocolate and a chocolate brownie. She was particularly fun in the car on the way home with all that sugar coursing through her system. Because of course the very idea of having to share her cake with anyone brought tears to her eyes - I fear she may be far too like her mother! My flat white was perfection and the date slice was the best I have had since my friends Granny died - no date slice will beat Granny B's but this came close. If you find yourself on the A702, well you never know you might need to hot foot it from Abington to Edinburgh) it is well worth a pit stop at the Big Red Barn just don't try and bypass the cake table, you'll only regret it!
