The five best places to get a sandwich in Scotland have been unveiled in honour of British Sandwich Week.
The seven-day event, which began on Monday and will continue until Sunday, celebrates the humble sandwich in all its glory as well as the contribution that the sandwich industry makes to the economy.
In Scotland, there are countless tasty spots to pick up a delicious sandwich, from tea rooms to delis. However, organisers at British Sandwich Week have rounded up the best sandwich shops in the country based on TripAdvisor reviews.
According to the research, four of the five top spots are found in Edinburgh. Bon Tea Room, Honeycomb Tearoom, Polentoni, and Thirsty Pallet have all been named by British Sandwich Week as among the top places in the country to enjoy a piece.
Bon Tea Room, located on St John's Road in Corstorphine, is a favourite amongst locals for its afternoon tea. While its delicious-looking cakes and bakes are worth a visit alone, it is the homemade sandwiches that are the highlight — with customers being able to pick their own fillings.
Honeycomb Tearoom is an independent café found on Morrison Street in the capital's West End. Like Bon Tea Room, there are a tasty assortment of treats to try, but during British Sandwich Week you need to check out its delicious sandwiches.
Meanwhile, Polentoni can be found on Easter Road in the city's buzzy Leith district. The friendly Italian deli serves up pastries, coffee, and, of course, sandwiches — with its delicious daily menu well worth a gander.
The final Edinburgh spot to be included in British Sandwich Week's list is Thirsty Pallet on Elm Row. Ran by a mother-and-son team, the friendly café and sandwich bar offers cured meats and cheeses, charcoal bread, and homemade cakes.
Moving over to Glasgow, the last spot to be featured is gourmet sandwich specialist Cherry & Heather, situated on North Gower Street. The small takeaway uses locally produced and seasonal ingredients, with its bread also being made locally.
