There’s a lot more to the Highlands than just mountains and lakes, and one dish many people try whilst they’re on a Scottish holiday is haggis. It’s a dish that divides opinion, mainly because it includes sheep’s pluck (heart, liver and lungs).

Obviously there are oats, onions and spices too, and even though it doesn’t seem very natural to eat part of an animal’s heart, you’ll completely forget it when you have a taste. Many top restaurants have haggis on their dinner menu, and it’s a dish that goes back thousands of years and it’s been perfected over time.

It has been incorporated into other dishes from around the globe too, such as nachos, pasties, pies, lasagna and burgers. And if you have a fear of haggis, we invite you to overcome this fear and try just a small bite. If you don’t like it after that, at least you can say you’ve had a taste.
