Loch Lomond & Whisky Distillery
£0per personThe Trossachs & Glengoyne Whisky Distillery
Combine a famous loch with a world-renowned whisky on this trip into the Highlands.
Loch Lomond is a spectacular loch, the largest expanse of freshwater in Great Britain, home to over 30 islands. The Highland Boundary Fault surges right through it, making it a literal gateway to the Highlands. It's at the heart of the much larger Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park .

Rouken Glen Park
£0per personinspired by Australian Masterchef, season 8, episode 37, I decided to attempt my version of Beet Wellington. It took me a few goes and there were some tears and some swearing until I got it right.
One key lesson from my fails is that instead of spreading the mushroom mixture (known as duxelles) on the pastry and then attempting to roll the Wellington, it is way more prudent to stack the filling up high 2 thirds down the sheet of pastry and fold the pastry tightly over it. It works a treat and if you get a helping hand at that stage to ensure that there is no slack in the pastry, you’ll end up with a neat parcel of plant-based goodness wrapped up in a crispy puff pastry shell.
Itinery:
- ½ cup walnuts
- 4 medium-large (the same size!) beetroots
- olive oil
- 10 shallots, finely diced
- 8 garlic cloves, finely diced
- 1 kg / 2 lb chestnut mushrooms / cremini 1 chia or flax egg
- 500 g / 1 lb (weight assumes leaves only) spinach
- salt and pepper
- 3 tsp dried rosemary
- ¼ cup white wine
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- approx. ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 sheet frozen (vegan!) puff pastry*, defrosted
- 1 tbsp soy milk mixed with 1 tbsp of reduced aquafaba**, to glaze
- coarse sea salt (I used black), poppy or sesame seeds, to decorate
BALSAMIC REDUCTION
- 240 ml / 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- about 100 g / ½ cup sugar (I used raw cane)
