The Tam O’Shanter Inn was renamed as The Great Scot, and featured new and upscale menu items. Our famous Ale and Sandwich Bar was opened to our guests.

The Tam O’Shanter menu is revamped to include separate menus for lunch and dinner. Also, a new dish is introduced – The Toad in the Hole, a Yorkshire pudding filled with Filet Mignon and mushroom caps in a burgundy wine sauce. The dish became a hit and is still a highly popular menu item on the Tam’s menu today.
