Afternoon tea in Scotland

Scotland is a land with a very distinctive culture, where good food, drink and times go hand-in-hand, and therefore a fantastic place to experience afternoon tea.

The bonnie country is home to many diverse landscapes and cities each with its own unique charm and heritage, so there’s a myriad of interesting places to visit and partake. From the rolling heather of the Highlands to the exciting nightlife of buzzing comedy capital Edinburgh, the contrasts are many but wherever you go, expect warm Scotch hospitality from this famously friendly nation. Before or after exploring, sightseeing or attending an event, sit down at a charming hotel in the country or city and share a spread of sandwiches, scones and cakes, washed down as is tradition with a pot of freshly-brewed tea.

Afternoon Tea at Harvey Nichols

We were given a friendly welcome when we arrived on the 5th floor at Harvey Nichols. We decided to sit out on the Terrace even though it was slightly windy. Service was excellent as was the champagne, tea, sandwiches and dessert items. All in all an excellent and enjoyable experience.
