During the 15th century, haggis became a firm favorite across Scotland; today, it has gained popularity worldwide with many variations available. Drive to a local croft where you will meet your host and don your apron to begin your workshop. Listen to an introduction of this much-loved and iconic dish, traditionally made using the heart, liver and lungs from the sheep, mixed with oatmeal, suet, onions and spices, then encased and boiled. Watch a demonstration, then following their lead, make your own blend before stuffing the skin.
