Traditional Sweet Dishes
Cranachan
Cranachan began as a rustic harvest pudding of toasted oats, whipped cream, honey and raspberries, and a splash of Scotch whisky later made it an indulgent signature of Scottish desserts.
Shortbread
Shortbread traces back to medieval Scotland where rich, buttery biscuit dough was baked into crumbly slices, and it became a ceremonial treat at weddings and Hogmanay.
Dundee cake
Dundee cake was popularized by Keiller's of Dundee in the 19th century, its crown of whole almonds hiding a light, citrus-scented fruit cake that traditionally excludes candied peel.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Haggis
Haggis combines minced sheep heart, liver and lungs with oats and spices inside a casing, and its bold, peppery taste has made it the iconic centerpiece of Burns Night celebrations.
Scotch broth
Scotch broth is a hearty, ancient staple of barley, root vegetables and lamb, simmered until thick and comforting, perfect for warming households through long Scottish winters.
Black pudding
Black pudding is a blood sausage made with pork blood and oats or barley, prized in Scotland for its firm texture that crisps to a savory, iron-rich bite when fried.
Traditional Beverages
Scotch whisky
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and those casks, plus regional peat and water, give it the wide range of smoky, fruity and malty flavours.
Irn-Bru
Irn-Bru is a neon-orange, slightly metallic and fiercely beloved soft drink from Scotland, its unique flavour and cheeky 'made from girders' marketing earned it near-legendary status as the nation's other national drink.
Ale
Scottish ale covers styles from light session beers to robust 'wee heavy' malts, and its long brewing tradition favours rich, malty profiles that showcase caramel and roasted notes.

Buy a day bus pass and use Lothian Buses, tap contactless to avoid queues. Much cheaper than cabs and buses run late into the evening.
Old city charm everywhere, the pubs and live music made the trip. Expect showers, a waterproof jacket saved me. 3 nights was enough.
Avoid restaurants right on the Royal Mile, walk a few streets to Grassmarket or head to Leith for better seafood and fairer prices.
Cobblestones are lovely but my knees hated them, and central cafes jack up prices near tourist spots. Early mornings are nicest.
Great for a long weekend, museums are compact and walkable. Add a day trip to the coast if you like quieter scenery.
