Scotland offers a delicious mix of tradition and modern creativity. Be sure to try haggis (a savory dish made with meat, oats, and spices), cullen skink (a creamy smoked haddock soup), and Arbroath smokies (smoked haddock from the east coast). Scottish lamb, beef, and cheeses are of excellent quality, and along the coast, you’ll find fresh oysters and seafood. Finish your meal with buttery shortbread and a dram of single malt whisky—preferably at the distillery where it’s made. In cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow, a thriving modern dining scene blends Scottish ingredients with international inspiration.
