Scottish cuisine

Haggis and neeps

Scottish cuisine is the traditional food and cooking of Scotland, shaped by a cool climate, rugged terrain, and abundant seafood.

Haggis—sheep's organs mixed with oatmeal and spices, cooked in a stomach lining—is the iconic dish.

Other staples include oats, root vegetables, salmon, game, and shortbread.

We had a proper Scottish breakfast with black pudding and tattie scones.
