Have a romantic Scottish sleepover
Edinburgh 21212; 3 Royal Terrace, EH7; Valentine’s set menu from £50 with rooms from £250; 21212restaurant.co.uk
Rapidly gaining a reputation as the best place to eat north of the border, this stylish eatery recently gained its first Michelin star
after months of rave reviews from critics and commoners alike. It cost Michelin-starred chef Paul Kitching £4.5m to refurbish this
old Georgian townhouse but a meal here starts at £50 per person so it’s gastro that won’t break the bank. The Valentine’s menu
features Scottish salmon smoked with ‘love’ and a lovers’ layered cheesecake. The four large bedrooms (with bathtubs big
enough to fit the Scottish rugby team in) are perfect for a post-dinner carb slump or a naughty night in.
