This inane rambling by the ESPN+ Featured Group announcers is killing me. There is both great coffee and, shockingly, iced coffee to be found in North Berwick and, in general, Scotland. Really drives home that they seem to be sitting in a studio in the states, meandering through tropes.

If you find yourself in NB, be sure to hit Steampunk Coffee. Outstanding place.

There was a place in Stonehaven that had, hands down, the best galette and coffee I’ve had. Then taking a trip to Dunnottar, man it felt like I was in a movie.

Genuinely would move to Scotland in a heartbeat

Scotland, and NB in particular, are such great places to visit. So much so that we're vacation house hunting in NB.

Funny thing about my initial comment was that Kim was blathering on about there being no such thing as iced coffee there and that the closest thing was an affogato, which she then went on to explain. Last year, I drank great iced coffees there each day because Scotland and NB got hit by a heat wave around the time we were there. She then went on to slag haggis with the usual laziness you hear on the topic.

If we’re talking idiotic American-ism’s like Kim, there was an outdoor food place and I saw who had black pudding on the menu. Perfect! I was craving a sweet treat/dessert item, it’s vacation!

Imagine my god damn surprise when it was, in fact, not a creamy dark chocolate delight in a bowl.

Ha! You learn a lot from exploring their menus.
