Palmerston’s Coffee Shop

If you find yourself in Dunkeld on a wet March day and a bit tired of walking round the town you could do a lot worse than pop into Palmerston’s Coffee Shop on the main street.

Also, each table had a note with the wifi password .. great! Wish everywhere did this rather than tediously having to ask.
A scone at Palmerston's Coffee ShopScones are a little bit different. They are obviously baked in a large round then quartered to give a sort of triangular end result. They were light and airy with generous amounts of fruit and we could have had plain or even a rock bun. Served with a little bowl of clotted cream we thought it was great value for money. Come to think of it, it does not have to be a wet March day. Anytime would be good for Palmerston’s Coffee Shop.

And if you like fiddle music this is the place to come. Neil Gow was born here in 1727 and quickly became renowned as one of the best fiddle players in the land. He is commemorated today with the Neil Gow Festival which is held annually in the town.
