Travellers hungry for adventure and good food, won’t be short of things to do\u00a0in Scotland<\/a>. And they won’t go hungry either. Take a bite out of these 11 dishes\u00a0you absolutely have to try on your\u00a0next\u00a0trip to Scotland.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Full Scottish<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"Full<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Move over continental breakfast. When in Scotland, eat like a Scots. That means a full Scottish – not English – breakfast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While eggs, bacon\u00a0and\u00a0sausage make a star appearance in the full Scottish, there are a few, unique Scottish additions too. Haggis,\u00a0black pudding and white pudding\u00a0will always\u00a0take pride of place.\u00a0Add warm toast\u00a0dripping with butter\u00a0and\u00a0a generous portion of sweet\u00a0baked beans\u00a0and you’ll have\u00a0a\u00a0tidy<\/em>\u00a0Scottish breakfast plate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Many pubs and eateries serve this calorie-laden breakfast all day. Something you’ll be especially grateful for\u00a0if you’ve\u00a0gone out on the\u00a0skite <\/em>the night before (had a heavy night out).\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Haggis<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ah, haggis. No Scotland food guide would be complete without mention of the country’s national dish.\u00a0For many foreigners, the mere thought of it leaves a bad taste in their mouth.\u00a0For the Scottish, it’s home.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Haggis is made from sheep’s pluck (heart, liver and lungs). The meat is then minced and added to onion and spices. Finally, the combination\u00a0is cooked, encased in the animal’s stomach lining (although\u00a0today, this could be artificial) and served up for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Meat-eaters will find it utterly delicious if they’re brave enough to take a bite.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Salmon<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"a<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There’s a reason Scottish salmon is the gold standard\u00a0the\u00a0world over. The Scots fish and farm tons of salmon\u00a0from the icy,\u00a0pristine waters of the\u00a0country’s abundant\u00a0streams and lochs.\u00a0Consequently, salmon is also\u00a0Scotland’s\u00a0biggest food export.\u00a0While you may find it your local supermarket, in Scotland it’s best enjoyed on tattie scones or grilled and smothered in herby butter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Time your visit to the “bonnie banks” of Scotland’s Loch Lomond in spring and autumn and you might see the salmon run firsthand. Step aside Great Migration, as this is one\u00a0of the\u00a0greatest wildlife spectacles you’ll get to view\u00a0in the area. Watch in awe as these silvery fish leap impossibly up the waterfalls to return to their spawning grounds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Neeps and tatties<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Neeps\u00a0and tatties go together like peas and carrots.\u00a0While the\u00a0rest of the world knows them as turnips and potatoes,\u00a0somehow\u00a0they sound a lot more exotic as\u00a0neeps\u00a0and tatties. Pair these with Scotland’s national dish, haggis.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Fish and chips<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another import from Britain, like its full breakfast, is the familiar favourite – fish and chips. In Scotland, you’ll even get to keep the mushy peas, although there are slight regional\u00a0variations of this simple yet tasty staple.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In Edinburgh, sprinkle salt and ‘chippy’ sauce on your fish and chips. This sauce is a mixture of brown sauce and vinegar or water.\u00a0Don’t be surprised to hear Edinburgh locals proudly\u00a0proclaim that eating fish and chips in this way is entirely unique to the Auld Reekie<\/em>.\u00a0Outside\u00a0the capital, vinegar remains the sauce of\u00a0choice on fish and chips.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. Black pudding<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ignore the calling of your sweet tooth.\u00a0In this part of the world, they use the term ‘pudding’ for savoury dishes.\u00a0And none is more famous up north than black pudding, another familiar addition to the Scottish breakfast plate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Scots make their black pudding from pork blood, mixed with pork\u00a0fat and oatmeal, and fashioned into a sausage. Close your eyes, sample a bite-sized chunk and you’ll certainly want more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Scottish people will be quick to share their favourite sources of black pudding, or haggis for that matter, with anyone who asks. In the words of your enthusiastic hosts: “It’s one of those Scottish dishes that’s pure dead brilliant”. <\/em>Enough said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

7. Bacon butty<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"bacon<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Don’t expect it to\u00a0win any fine-dining awards, or\u00a0find its way on to the Heart Foundation’s diet for that matter. Nonetheless, the Scottish bacon butty is oh so sinfully delicious it should be a crime if you don’t eat every last morsel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sandwich a generous rasher\u00a0or two\u00a0of the finest locally grown bacon on a freshly baked white roll and, as is the Scottish way, smother it in butter. A generous drizzle of tomato sauce or brown sauce is the finishing touch.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

8. Sticky-toffee pudding<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sweet and lick-your-fingers\u00a0sticky,\u00a0this favourite British treat has made its way across the Solway-Tweed Line into Scotland and can be found in Scottish pubs across the country. Make sure you order the warm, deliciously more-ish\u00a0sticky toffee ‘pud’ on your next trip to Scotland, even if you forego dinner entirely to finish it all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Scots add dates and enough sugar in this moist sponge cake to satisfy any toddler on a sweetie\u00a0binge.\u00a0Push them over the edge with a generous dollop of vanilla custard or ice cream.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

9. Shortbread<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Scottish give the French a run for their butter with their favourite Christmas or Hogmanay gift. This traditional Scottish biscuit comprises\u00a0one part\u00a0sugar, two parts butter and three parts flour. Just one whiff and you know you’ll want a wee piece or\u00a0two with a cuppa.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Although there are many\u00a0regional\u00a0twists on this classic\u00a0treat\u00a0variations, it’s always melt-in-your-mouth delicious.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

10. Deep-friend Mars bar<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A little batter clearly doesn’t concern the Scottish, who delight in coating all manner of delicious treats so that they can be deep-fried. Fish, sausage and, would you believe, a gooey Mars bar, all make it from the frying pan into the deep fryer.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While Mars bars are the chocolatey treat that Scots love to sizzle, you can request any chocolate\u00a0deep-fried in chippies and pubs across the country. Take a bite and the warm, liquid chocolate\u00a0will\u00a0melt in your mouth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

11. Wander the whisky trail<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"scottish<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While it may not be\u00a0a dish,\u00a0Scotland’s famous tipple is well-deserving of its spot on this list. Besides, a wee dram of single malt, single grain or blended malt Scotch whisky is the perfect end to\u00a0a day well spent exploring Scotland.\u00a0Be warned, you’ll struggle to limit your velvety nightcap to one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For Trafalgar guests taking a trip to Scotland, there’s a rare opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Johnnie Walker on the whisky trail. Pop into\u00a0Glengoyne<\/a>, the country’s most famous distillery\u00a0where you’ll have an opportunity to\u00a0sip some of their unique Highland single malt\u00a0whisky.\u00a0Take your whisky-fuelled adventure a step further and learn all about how Scotland’s favourite golden liquid is made. And of course why it’s spelt whisky, not whiskey, in this part of the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
