Now as unappealing as that sounds – it has to be tasted to be believed. One of the most delicious dishes in the country it is sold in nearly every restaurant, shop and chippy across the country.

Neeps & Tatties

Neeps are turnips, tatties are potatoes. Put these two together and you have a scrumptious Scottish dish. They are traditionally served with haggis as a trio but can work just as well on their own. If you add chives and butter to the dish then you will be left with Orkney’s favourite dish.

The fresh water of Scotland is the perfect breeding ground for salmon, making it taste all that much better.

If sugary treats are your thing then tablet is perfect for you. It is sugar, butter and condensed milk cooked together until they are crystallised. You’ll find this treat all over the country in most shops and is certain to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Fish Supper

Some places will even have a special chippy sauce that you won’t get anywhere else in the world.
