FOOD, RESTAURANTS AND SHOPPING
Haggis (lambs organs chopped and mixed with suet and packed into a sheep’s stomach). We’ve never even tried it. Luckily there are some easier local foods like Scottish beef and salmon, Scottish Broth and some really good Scottish meat pies. For those not interested in Scotch whiskey, there is a good assortment of local beers.
