Playfair's Restaurant

Join us at Playfair’s Restaurant and Steakhouse for a warm Scottish welcome and good food as it should be. It’s that simple.

**SCOTTISH PRELOVED BABY BOX FOR UKRAINE** (facebook)

As a new father, the situation in Ukraine has really touched our household. This war has so many implications and the thought of babies coming into this world or having to take refuge in bomb shelters really tears at our hearts.

We feel this is a really great initiative and I implore you to take part in this drive if you are able to.

We are so privileged to receive a baby box from the Scottish government for every child in this country. If you have anything on the list that you do not need or no longer use, please drop off at the relevant collection points which are all over the country. I have 2 within a 10 mile radius of my house.
