Traditional haggis, neeps and tatties

Originally a humble peasant dish, the haggis with its traditional accompaniments of bashed ’neeps (turnip or swede) and tatties (potatoes) has become something of a Scottish icon. Haggis has many fans; for Burns it was “that king o’ food”, celebrity cook and food historian Clarissa Dickson Wright has dedicated a whole book to the subject and Queen Victoria, an enthusiast for all things Scottish noted that “I find I like it very well”.

Tonight we will invite you to celebrate the haggis with Burns’ famed Address to the Haggis. This evening, haggis ’neeps and tatties will be served giving you the perfect opportunity to sample another great Scottish tradition – a dram of malt whisky from Prestonfield’s famous collection!
