...menu tries hard to stay on theme. Full Duncan salad (named after the Highlander hero Duncan MacLeod) and Dundee lamb chop are on offer, as is an Orkney Island salad - although the menu acknowledges with disarming honesty that, while the calamari it's made of are very fresh, "O.K. maybe they're not brought in all the way from Scotland."
