Dining
Scotland has a wide array of traditional dishes and there are a few specialties that you should take the opportunity to try out. Haggis is boiled and minced offal from sheep, mixed with beef suet and oatmeal. The Aberdeen-Angus beef cattle make for rich and tasty meat, which makes excellent steaks. Last but not least you should try the Black Bun, a dark fruit cake made with raisins, currants, chopped peel and almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon and ginger.
