Then again, dining out isn't all about Indian restaurants in Alexandria. There are also some fantastic Scottish eateries who can't wait to show what they can do. At places like the Kilted Skirlie in nearby Balloch you can enjoy locally caught langoustines, salmon fillets with Asian slaw or hearty beef pies, all within eyesight of gorgeous Loch Lomond. And fish specialists like Palombos offer even more delicacies, with ethically-sourced fish and beautifully deep-fried chips (not to mention homemade mushy peas, pizzas, burgers and prawn cocktails).
