Wow! … one of my all time favourite things

Wow! The Haggis Experience was one of my all time favorite things about my trip to Scotland. My expectations were relatively low before arriving on the farm as experiences tend to go one way or the other.

I was happily surprised! Stephen (our incredibly kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and welcoming chef/historian/host) provided an exciting new appreciation for Scotland’s celebrated dish. From the tour of the farm to the haggis history and demonstration to the exquisite tasting, I enjoyed every moment. You’ll laugh, you’ll eat, you’ll learn - what more could you ask for? Thank you Stephen for your warm welcome and hospitality!

And, of course, for the amazing meal.

Will recommend 10/10! (I highly encourage Haggis Experience attendees to plan out travel before day of event! Opt for bus (stops in Balfron) or by personal/rental car)
