There are few things, to me, more Scottish than sitting on a CalMac ferry sailing out to one of the isles tucking into their famous Mac ‘n’ Cheese (made with super creamy and tasty Lockerbie Cheddar) as I enjoy a bottle of local ale. And the good news for us all is that you can enjoy a real smorgasbord of local…
The bountiful Scottish region of Perthshire these days screams produce. And fresh, local produce at that. Perthshire after all is home to some of the finest soft fruits in Europe and was the site of Scotland’s first farmers’ market (in Perth itself). It boasts a heaving natural larder stocked with world-class salmon and lamb, not to mention the only two…

You also have to love travelling around here as it is the sunniest region in Scotland! East Lothian may not attract the tourist crowds that flock to the nearby capital,…
As Scotland’s reputation for quality food and drink goes from strength-to-strength, one idyllic west coast island is really emerging as a foodie hub. With a whisky distillery, brewery, three cheese producers, a chocolatier, baker famous for its oatcakes and its own smokehouse Arran is a wonderland of fine food and drink as I found out even before I reached terra firma….
If you are heading to Perthshire forget all the anachronistic images you might have of Scottish food being all about shortbread and deep-fried Mars Bars. Perth, Scotland’s newest city, and Perthshire these days boast the country’s only two Michelin star restaurant, produce 90% of Scotland’s soft fruits and offer some of the best freshwater fish and lamb in the UK….
