EATSCOTLAND
In a country world-renowned for its pristine lochs, rivers, mountains and glens, it is hardly surprising that Scotland produces such a feast of taste sensations. Scotland's larder is stocked full of natural ingredients from prime Aberdeen Angus beef and wild venison to salmon, the king of fish and an array of seafood, often hand-dived.
International visitors seek out such unique delicacies as whisky, porridge, clootie dumpling, Irn Bru, Arbroath smokies and haggis. Yet in their quest for home-grown favourites, they will undoubtedly experience many tasty and perhaps unexpected treats - Shetland lamb, permeated with seaweed and heather; organic wild boar; succulent and juicy summer berries and mouth-watering ice-creams, to name but a few.
Scotland's farmers, butchers, bakers, cheese-makers, fishermen and distillers take a great pride in what they produce - many using time-honoured and fiercely-guarded recipes passed through generations.
To be assured of good food, service and atmosphere, look out for the EatScotland logo. EatScotland is a nationwide Quality Assurance Scheme from VisitScotland that assesses dining experiences.
