Traditional Scottish food - simple ingredients making dishes with a very distinctive flavour.
Arbroath Smokie - a wood-smoked haddock produced in small smoke-houses in
the East coast fishing town of Arbroath.
Soup, made with mutton,
carrots, peas, leeks, cabbage, turnips. Robert Burns wrote about haggis:
It is made from sheep's offal minced,
mixed with beef suet and oatmeal and sewn into
