If you were asked to list as many classic Scottish dishes as you could, what would come top? A random selection of Scots were asked the same question. All came out with the same answer – haggis, haggis and more haggis.

Yes, Scotland is a land of haggis lovers. Unsurprising, you might think. After all, it is not every dish that has its day. (Just try and host a Burns Supper around January 25 without serving a magnificent ceremonial haggis.)

So you cannot live in Scotland or travel around this country without discovering more about how haggis is made, and most importantly, how it tastes.

Our Make and Taste events are fun for all ages, full of banter as well as stories from history and folklore. Don’t just take our word for it, read what our customers say.

A fun experience

A fun experience. Certainly unique. I run food tours across the whole of Scotland in my business ‘Tasting Scotland Gourmet Journeys & Events’ and know this is something both visitors and locals will love to do. Really delicious Haggis, Neeps and Tatties and a lovely demonstration of making the dish by Stephen. A concise insight into the history of Scotland’s national dish and current ways to incorporate into meals provides the perfect balance. Will recommend.

We said when we went to Scotland we would love to do local traditions and we came across the Haggis Experience …..“Yes” we are going to do this.

We booked it and it was so easy to do too, we arrived at Glenside farm lovely surroundings and we had a fantastic welcome from Stephen and his son Harry. From start to finish we was welcomed so well and the experience was magical. When tasting the finished product at the end - WOW it was so delicious I asked for more….lol.

Definitely worth a visit you won’t be disappointed, keep up the good work guys.

A holiday highlight

This was definitely one of the highlights of my week in Scotland. We were a family group of six and we went for the lunch experience. Everything was very well structured and adapted to include our children who were able to get ‘hands-on’ with part of the presentation, which was very engaging and well-paced. We were served a lovely meal at the end and went away very happy customers and with a recipe for haggis!
