'Worth the calories': These are the best tearooms in the whole of Scotland
FIVE tearooms across the country have been named among the best in Scotland by The Times.
Featuring spots in places like Mull and Edinburgh, an abundance of lovely locations for cake and tea have been shared.
Introducing the ranking, the publication said that there is "nothing new about tearooms" but that there are a number of unique spots "worth the calories".
These are the five best tearooms in Scotland, according to The Times.
The tearoom, which is said to be "deep in the historic heart of the old town," was described as "a most civilised drawing room".
The location is run by the royal-warranted catering firm Heritage Portfolio and is a "respite and oasis from the old town trudge".
Just outside Tobermory sits this "uniquely vibey" tearoom. The spot sits within Sgriob-Ruadh farm where the "celebrated" Mull cheddars are made.
The framework of the barn structure was built on the Clyde and was originally part of Salen village hall which was taken down to make way for a new road.
Owners James and Fiona Grant are said to "really know" their coffee beans with these being sourced far and wide.
The tearoom also has a great shop, outdoor decking and a lovely wood-burning stove.
The various offerings from Ballintaggart and pastries from the Wild Hearth Bakery are a must-try for patrons.
Described as an "extraordinary local provisioner" with a great selection of cheese and homemade foods, the publication said there are "lots of good things to buy" here.

This tearoom and farm shop located on the Finzean estate on the back road between Aboyne and Banchory is a "worthwhile detour."
The newspaper said: "Catriona Farquharson's personally run foodie haven is a showcase for local suppliers, in glorious open countryside with views to the hills from the terrace.
"You'll find local and carefully sourced produce beautifully presented, fresh and frozen, along with game from the estate. Cool cookbooks and other good gifts are available too."

Elon Musk rages against Steve Bannon after call for drug investigation
Elon Musk's feud with Steve Bannon intensified Tuesday after Bannon suggested President Donald Trump rethink government contracts with Musk's company and appoint a special counsel to investigate the mercurial billionaire's alleged drug use. 'Bannon is such a r——d liar,' Musk raged on his social media platform in the very early morning hours, using a slur for people with intellectual disabilities. 'Dumber than a doorstop.' Musk was replying to comments Bannon made on the debut episode of the 'Sunday Night With Chuck Todd' streaming series. The clip that appeared to get under his skin showed Bannon suggesting Musk has government contracts to thank for adding as much as $150 billion to his net worth and suggested, therefore, U.S. taxpayers should own a share of his SpaceX company. Musk's rant took issue with Bannon's math, but moreso his reasoning. 'If Bannon's dumb as f–k reasoning made any sense, then anyone who bought products from any company would automatically own that company,' he posted before again insulting Bannon's mental capacity. According to Bannon, if any other CEO threatened to decommission one of the rockets his company uses in its work with the government after a personal spat with a U.S. president — as Musk did last week — that executive would be fired. Bannon also told Todd that President Trump should further look into a recent bombshell New York Times story hinting Musk's alleged drug use could be problematic, which Musk flatly denied. 'I think the best way to do it is as a special counsel that can kind of oversee everything,' Bannon said. 'Pull his security clearance for the drugs, temporarily, investigate the whole drug situation.' The Times reported May 30 that Musk was 'using drugs far more intensely than previously known' while campaigning for Trump. His substance use reportedly included ketamine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and pills that appeared to be the ADHD stimulant Adderall. Bannon, who served in Trump's first administration, has a history of butting heads with Musk, who headed the Department of Government Efficiency in Trump's second administration. Tensions escalated last week when Musk posted a message online suggesting Justice Department records show that Trump's friendship with disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein would present problems for the president. Musk later deleted that post. __________

Paramount lays off several hundred employees amid linear TV declines and 'dynamic macro-environment'
Paramount Global will lay off 3.5% of its domestic workforce, which amounts to several hundred jobs, as the media and entertainment company continues to navigate a difficult industrywide decline in linear television. The majority of the affected employees were notified Tuesday, according to a letter sent Tuesday morning to employees that was obtained by The Times. In addition to the decline in linear TV, the company also cited a "dynamic macro-economic environment" and the continued priority of streaming business investments as the backdrop to these layoffs. The affected departments were not disclosed. "We recognize how difficult this is and are very thankful for everyone's hard work and contributions," Paramount co-chief executives George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins wrote in the letter. "These changes are necessary to address the environment we are operating in and best position Paramount for success." The layoffs come just one day after Paramount said its chief financial officer, Naveen Chopra, would be resigning at the end of the month. The company said in a regulatory filing that Chopra's resignation was not the result of disagreement with the company or its board of directors. Paramount is just one of several studios across Hollywood that are downsizing. Last week, Walt Disney Co. announced layoffs for several hundred employees in the U.S. and abroad, citing the decline in linear TV. The layoffs largely affected the film and television marketing teams, television publicity, casting and development as well as corporate financial operations. The move came just three months after the company cut 200 workers, including at ABC News and Disney-owned entertainment networks. Warner Bros. Discovery also laid off employees from its cable TV channels last week, cutting several dozen positions. On Monday, the media and entertainment company said it would split into two separate firms — one entity that includes the film studio, television production, HBO and HBO Max and DC Studios and the other with cable channels such as CNN and TNT as well as its European over-the-air networks.
