Kirsty McLuckie

Critic · Journalist · Author — Glasgow and Scotland restaurant reviewing on The Scotsman's scored template; a general lifestyle writer rather than a cuisine specialist.

her byline carries a scored, post-visit Scotsman review (The Hug and Pint, 27 October 2015, food 8/10), reported dish by dish with what she paid, on the same desk template Rosalind Erskine and Gaby Soutar use. It is the only critical assessment of that kitchen that exists.

Their own reviews and picks.

Their own judgment, in their own words, by the piece it appeared in.
