Haggis Tour Edinburgh 2026

DIG INTO SCOTLAND’S MOST TRADITIONAL DISHES

Your first stop is the iconic Cullen Skink. This dish comes from the Highlands, and is a thick soup of haddock, potatoes, and onions. It’s originally from the town of Cullen, hence the name, whereas ‘skink’ is a Scots word for soup. Next you’ll try Scotland’s national dish: haggis. This is a pudding made from sheep’s offal: heart, liver, and lungs. This is all mixed with oats, onions, suet, and spices, and then traditionally cooked in the animal’s stomach. You’ll also try ‘neeps and tatties’. Neeps are turnips, and tatties are potatoes. They’re boiled and mashed separately, served alongside the haggis.

INDULGE IN SWEET DESSERTS

There’s always room for dessert! After the main meal comes cranachan - a whisky-infused traditional Scottish sweet. Usually served in a tall glass, layers of cream and raspberries are bolstered by oats and whisky. This dessert was typically served to celebrate the raspberry harvest in August. Our other sweet offering is homemade fudge. These are creamy blocks made out of condensed milk, sugar, and butter or cream. Although simple, it’s a much-loved recipe in Scotland and is often served for celebrations. Vanilla is definitely the most common flavor.

TRY THE SECRET DISH AND WASH IT DOWN WITH WHISKY

At the end of the tour, we’ll serve up a final unique meal: our Secret Dish! We won’t reveal what it is just yet - you’ll have to join us to find out - but we can guarantee it’s delicious! You’ll also receive a ‘dram of liquid gold’. Or, in plain English, a glass of whisky! Scotland is famous for its whiskies, especially single malt whisky. As your guide will explain, this type is made from only malted barley and water and must be made in one distillery. They must be aged in oak casks for at least three years in Scotland. You’ll get two glasses of whisky - enjoy them!
