		<description>Don't Ask for a Bottle of Wine!!

Not sure if there has been a change in Management but whilst the food was okay as pub food goes the service was dismal.  There was one waitress who was trying to do her best under very difficult circumatances BUT she was clearly harassed!  Consequently service was slow!  We also tried to order some wine from the limited wine list to be told only the cheapest 2 on the list were available - on the basis that this pub fluants itself as a quality pub dining experience we opened the bottle and poured three glasses - it was RANK!  We complained but no-one came to answer our complaint and because there appeared to be no wine in stock a fresh bottle wasn't offered BUT we were charged for the privilage.  Our poor waitress agreed that we could drink our own bottle which my Mother had bought from good old M&#38;S!  As it happens, we paid £75 for 3 starters and 4 main courses and the rank bottle of wine - we couldn't bear the potential wait for coffees etc.  Had the wine been ok - we'd have probably had 2 bottles and coffee and liquers taking the bill to well over £150 which we'd have happily paid if this pub had lived up to its own hype!  It is not beyond the competence of most high street pubs to offer a selection of drinkable wines at profit - the sheep's heid clearly holds it's customers in very low regard to offer such putrid and rancid bevarages.  This pub is clearly trading on its location and history - I won't be recommending it!!</description>

		<description>I really enjoyed reading this piece about the Sheep Heid, it took me back to several visits there in the past. Not only is the pub so interesting and historic, it's tucked away in one of my favourite little corners of Scotland. Duddingston and The Sheep Heid are places I always try to drop by if I'm visiting back home.

Great site. I shall definitely be back for a further look around.

Best wishes
