Scottish Food & Drink: Come experience Scotland’s local flavours

Are you a Foodie? When on holiday, do you love to go to the local farmer’s market ?

Whether you eat out in a restaurant or prepare a gourmet meal in the fully equipped kitchen of your self-catering cottage, high-quality food is the key ingredient of any trip, and can make the difference between a good holiday and a great one.

Scotland ’s mountains and lochs provide an extraordinary spectrum of produce and its temperate climate is responsible for its wealth of indigenous fruit and vegetables, making Scotland’s larder one of the biggest and best in the world. The exquisite range and distinctive flavour of Scotland’s home-produced food guarantees unbeatable tasting experiences, whether it’s succulent salmon from the crystal clear rivers, gamey grouse or venison from the wild moors or a hot toddy of warming whisky to chase away the winter chills.

EatScotland is a quality assurance “where to eat” scheme from VisitScotland and a website promoting all positive aspects of food and drink in Scotland. EatScotland helps the residents and visitors to Scotland find great places to eat, not just the well-established places but also the many unsung and sometimes relatively undiscovered places within Scotland that are providing good food, but who may not have managed to get into the glossy printed guides.

Another good resource in the quest for quality food is Taste-of-Scotland.com. Their team has assembled a selection of Scottish Food Products and Food Producers which they believe reflect some of the uniqueness and range of flavours to be found in Scottish Food and Drink.

So after a long day of tantalizing your taste buds, make sure you stay in a quality-assured self-catering cottage with the help of the EmbraceScotland website.
