10 Best Hotel Restaurants to Eat Haggis in Scotland

When you travel to a new country, you want to try some of their local delicacies. So of course, you’ll want to sample haggis in Scotland. While some Scots may tell you that haggis is a cute creature with 2 legs longer than the others so it can run around the hills, the truth is that it’s a savoury pudding.

Haggis is one of Scotland’s most traditional meals and is eaten with neeps (turnips) and tatties (potatoes) on Burns Night to celebrate the famous poet Robbie Burns. Today, however, many chefs put their own twist on haggis, adding it to dishes to bring a peppery, earthy flavour. So where are the best hotel restaurants to eat haggis in Scotland?
