Scottish breakfast

Full fry-up, Edinburgh-style

A Scottish breakfast is a substantial cooked morning meal similar to a full English breakfast but with regional variations.

It typically includes eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, toast, and black pudding, with distinctly Scottish additions like haggis, tattie scones (potato scones), and square sausage (Lorne sausage).

Like its English counterpart, it's associated with hotels and cafés rather than daily home cooking: We had the full Scottish breakfast before hiking the Highlands.
