Let’s start with potentially the most well-known but not necessarily the first of our Scottish foods people choose to try. Haggis is an odd one to those not used to it. However, there’s no getting around the fact that traditionally haggis is made from a sheep’s liver, heart, and lungs, minced and then mixed with suet and oatmeal and seasoned with a...
Lorne sausage is one of the easiest Scottish foods to describe. It’s sausage meat cut into a square but has no casing, which means it’s easy to make at home. Why? We’re honestly not sure, but it does fit nicely into a Morning Roll with a little brown sauce and isn’t prone to rolling off your plate as part of your Full Scottish breakfast! Many Scots...

Layers of pastry with a lard and butter mixture give these roll-shaped treats their delicious, wholesome, ‘croissanty’ taste. Made originally in the Northeast of Scotland, Butteries were traditionally made for fishermen to enjoy while out at sea. The high-fat cont...
We mentioned that Scotland does fried food very well earlier, and we weren’t lying! Britain is known for its fantastic fish and chips, and Scotland has taken that one step further. Now we know this isn’t the healthiest, but combining ingredients like fresh seafood with locally grown potatoes is always a winner. But a Scottish chippie isn’t just abo...

What makes Scottish food so much fun to cook and eat is how well it makes simple ingredients sing. Rumbledethumps does precisely that, despite its complicated name. A wonderful mixture of creamy mashed potato, thinly sliced cabbage and sometimes fried onions. All this is mixed with a bit of seasoning and then topped with an excellent Scottish chees...
Another dish whose name doesn’t give you too much of a clue as to the ingredients. Clapshot is another dish, like Rumbledethumps, that uses simple ingredients to make a tasty side dish. Clapshot originated in Orkney and, simply put, is a buttery mashed potato mixed with swede and chives stirred through, often with fried onions. It’s a family favour...
