SCOTLAND FOR

FOODIES

Scotland’s humble gastronomic beginnings are very much a thing of the past. Swapping deep-fried Mars Bars for Michelin stars, it is now a top foodie destination, home to a plethora of acclaimed fine-dining restaurants and a wealth of talented chefs working with great local ingredients.

Edinburgh Food Festival

At the end of July, the Edinburgh Food Festival takes over George Square for a week-long celebration of all that’s best in Scottish produce. With cooking demonstrations by some of the country’s top chefs, it’s the perfect place to discover the variety of traditional and contemporary flavours that Scotland has to offer.

Wild Dining

Pop-up wild-dining experiences offer visitors the chance to try expertly curated fine food and drink (such as wild-foraged mushrooms and “wild wine”) in the most unexpected of settings, from walled castle gardens to serene woodlands.

Fruit Picking in The Borders

A summer day spent picking gooseberries, raspberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants and sweet Scottish tayberries (a unique bramble and raspberry hybrid) is great fun. Border Berries, on Rutherford Farm near Kelso, is one of the few remaining berry farms that ripens its fruit in the open air. After fruit-picking, visitors can refuel at the farm café. Visit in July to late August, when the berries are ripe and juicy.

Scotland’s Foodie Trails

Themed foodie trails showcase Scotland’s unique flavours, from Arbroath’s smoked haddock to the tangy, heather-infused real ales of Islay. Surprises include Scotland’s Chocolate Trail, where chocolatier Iain Burnett creates delights like salted raspberry chocolate with Szechuan pepper salt in his artisan shop.
