Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

Another cafe recommendation, Muircot Farm Shop: http://www.muircot-farmshop.co.uk/

Near Alloa, Stirling, etc and open Sunday's! Nice scones and massive slices of Carrot Cake - what's not to like?

That looks like another nice cafe, and it's on wee roads, so might make quite a good cake stop for another ride
Or we could just cycle from cafe to cafe (Dollar/Tillycoultry & this one), on a scone crawl

Dollar to tilli is not a safe cycling road along the hill foots. Better way would be to go up along the caulsnaughton road and back down to avoid the bends

but the bends is a strava segment

I would head along the road from forestmill to Saline then take the B913 into Dollar
