Finding the Meikleour Arms is easy. All you have to do is find the tallest hedge in the world. When you reach the end of the hedge, turn sharp left, and you are there.

The Meikleour Hedge
The men who planted the Meikleour Hedge in 1745 left their work to fight at the battle of Culloden, hiding their tools under the hedge and never returning to claim them.

Meikleour village is small but beautiful with lots of olde-world charm, and the Meikleour Arms, built in 1820, is at its heart.External view of the Meikleour Arms

We have passed it many times, but this is the first time we’ve stopped to explore. Would they have scones, and if so, would they be as wonderful as this place?A scone at the Meikleour Arms

Turns out they did, and they were—excellent service in beautiful surroundings and one of the best scones we have had in ages.

With Trump and his daily political gymnastics, we have given up on current affairs for the moment. All too depressing.

By comparison, the Easter bunny makes much more sense. Hope he finds you wherever you are.
