1.Edinburgh Food Tour with Scotch, Haggis, a Secret Dish & More

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,172 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $134Our pick

3-hour Edinburgh Old Town food tour with haggis, neeps, secret dish and Lowland whisky, guided by local foodie experts.

“All the food was very tasty. Started with the cullen skink . A very hardy, flavorful soup. The haggis was well prepared, similar to a shepard's pie without crust. The Chranacan was delicious, was prepared like an ice cream. Tried 2 whiskey that were both good. Finish with scones at a bakery. They were just ok. More like a biscuit than a scones. Not enjoyable after whiskey. Overall a nice experience. Several dishes were shared and still, portions were just way too large.”

“Knowledgeable and engaging host for the tour, variety to the samples provided during it, and a nice environment. Interesting difference to more traditional/longstanding distilleries, not so bound up in history. Also helpful and friendly staff in the shop. Something like being able to keep your glass or having a miniature thrown in to take away would have been the icing on the cake, but very enjoyable experience.”
