All of the Best Traditional Scottish Recipes Ever

If you’d have told me, 5 years ago, that I’d have become a huge fan of traditional Scottish recipes, I would have scoffed. I may even have laughed! But ever since I first experimented with a traditional Scottish meat pie recipe, I’ve begun to love researching and making the same recipes that my ancestors once enjoyed.

Of course, I’m not just Scottish, so I’ve also been experimenting with recipes from other cultures. And I’ve begun to love those, too. But for now, let’s bask in the awesomeness that is Scottish cuisine.

Traditional Scottish Recipes

From what I’ve seen, the best Scottish recipes are simple to learn but some can be difficult to master. Yes, I’m looking at those pastry crusts in particular! Thankfully, though, I’ve found some easier ones that are a lot more manageable.

So let’s take a look at some of the best recipes I’ve found so far.

Scottish Main Dishes

Of course, you could always serve a meat pie for the main dish, but the meat pies are so good they deserve their own category! Other main dishes include:

• Quick and Easy Mince Beef Recipes for Busy Families
• Simple, Delicious, and Easy Minced Beef and Tatties
• Traditional haggis, neeps, and tatties
• Scottish mince and tatties
• Bangers and mash with a stout onion gravy
• Smoked Haddock Bake

Side Dishes for Scots

• Scottish eggs – now, to be fair these could be the main course! But because they go so well with so many other things, I opted to list them as a (very tasty) side dish.
• Tattie Scones – scones are delicious, and these are no exception! They’re just made from tatties (that’s Scottish for po-taters, y’all).
• Baps or Scottish buns are a perfect bread for sandwiches.
