However, there’s a lot more to Scotland’s natural larder than meets the eye. Across all corners of the country, Scotland offers a wide range of delicious dishes. From Michelin-star restaurants in the capital to cosy country pubs in the Highlands and freshly caught seafood on the coast, there’s something for everyone.

Explore regular farmers’ markets in cities, towns and villages across Scotland for hand-reared local produce that will tantalise the taste buds. Enjoy a range of meats, including lamb, venison, beef and game; or seafood such as fresh salmon or trout; or sample some cheese, artisan chocolates, jams, pickles, breads and much more.

Scotland’s farmers are renowned for producing some of the highest quality produce in the country, used in both prestigious restaurants and atmospheric pubs. Why not try some mouth-watering Ayrshire bacon, Aberdeen Angus steak or tender Scottish lamb? Farmers on North Ronaldsay, Orkney feed their lamb on seaweed, giving the meat a unique taste.

Seafood lovers can enjoy Scotland’s fresh waters and surrounding seas, which are home to an array of seafood that can be found in local pubs and seafood restaurants. Mussels, oysters, shellfish, cod, haddock and more – all freshly-caught and prepared for your pleasure.

When it comes to drinks, Scotland’s single malt whiskies have a unique flavour that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. With over 100 active distilleries, it’s no surprise that there are so many varieties of whisky to sample. Scotland is also home to a variety of craft beers, gins and ales – all served in quirky bars, pubs and restaurants across the country.
