Dining

There is nowhere better to sample Scotland’s world-famous delicacies than in Aberdeenshire and Macleod House offers you the opportunity to taste gourmet cuisine without even walking outside of our doors. From much-prized Aberdeen Angus Beef, to freshly caught fish and seafood, including salmon and trout from the fresh mountain rivers, venison and game from the highland estates and, of course, Uisge Beatha (the water of life), whisky, we feature the best that Scotland has to offer for the Aberdeen diner.

Spend an evening unwinding within our fire lit Clavis Whisky Bar and sample a wee dram of the exclusive highland single malt, bottled from The GlenDronach Distillery. It was commissioned by Trump International Golf Links, Scotland to celebrate the opening of our golf course. Sample innovative and indulgent fare from our signature restaurant, The Dunes Restaurant and Bar or dine in The North View for an exclusive menu by our Executive Head Chef.
