Scotland's variety of excellent produce belies the nation's reputation as a European culinary backwater. With events all over the country, the Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight aims to impress: from whisky to oysters, venison to raspberries and, of course, the famous haggis.

The historic kingdom of Scotland, recently freed from the shackles of nearly 400 years of direct rule from London with the foundation of its own assembly, is one of the most beautiful countries, with its lochs, glens and heather, and a vibrant land of imagination, industry and invention.
From its castles, clans (from whom so many visitors seem to be descended!) and distilleries, with its fine literary traditions which have given us the likes of Robbie Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson, Scotland is all things to all men. For the sporting types golf and curling are traditional activities, while no self-respecting settlement can be without its traditional Highland Games each summer.
From the awe-inspiring landscape - from Highlands to Islands - to the cultural feast that overwhelms Edinburgh every August (the tattoo, international, fringe, jazz, film and book festivals filling the city), Scotland has something for everyone, and not just bagpipes, haggis, tartan and whisky!
