Side Orders: Take The High Road
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Applecross Inn
Seafood caught almost on the doorstep give prawn cocktail a good name at the stunningly placed gastropub looking across to Skye. The beer garden's near the beach and the chef's an award winner.

Ceilidh Place
Something for everyone, plenty for veggies, at this hotel, restaurant, coffee shop and arts centre. Open all day from breakfast to dinner (anything from soup to three courses served in the smarter dining area).

The Cross
Satisfaction all round for a four-course dinner (plus appetiser, coffee and petits fours) that might start with seared scallops in pea and asparagus broth, continue with roast halibut and end with cherry tart.

The Green Inn
The signature dish of roast fillet of Angus beef with hand-dived Loch Fyne scallops and crayfish, parsnip purée, pancetta and truffle-infused beurre blanc sets the tone at what's more restaurant with rooms than inn.
