Famed for the excellence of its local produce, Scotland is becoming increasingly well known for the inspiration of its chefs. Whether you are out in the country or the city you'll soon enthuse about eating out in Scotland.
Few countries can match Scotland for the quality and variety of its produce. Where else will you find Aberdeen Angus beef, wild venison and Highland lamb; or West Highland scallops, oysters, mussels, lobsters, salmon, haddock and monkfish all caught or raised within a few miles of where you may be staying.
Visit the towns and cities where there is an ever-expanding choice of excellent restaurants of every nationality. A good source of information on eating out in Edinburgh and Glasgow is The List's 'Eating and Drinking Guide'. It is published every year and includes full reviews of over 1000 restaurants, bistros, bars and cafés. Another useful eating out guide is 'Taste of Scotland'. Both publications are available from bookshops and tourist information centres.
