Scotland's Larder

Scotland ’s mountains and lochs provide an extraordinary spectrum of produce and its temperate climate is responsible for its wealth of indigenous fruit and vegetables, making Scotland’s larder one of the biggest and best in the world. Chefs can draw on the best quality ingredients from both land and sea to produce traditional and contemporary menus across a wide range of culinary styles.

This section provides a seasonal food diary showing what’s fresh and available in each month and offers information on traditional Scottish foods. The diary can be used to help plan menus and the information can help serving staff be better informed about the food being offered
