Seafood on a Scottish Safari
When the words ‘I’m going on a safari’ are uttered most people assume of course you are off to spend some time in Africa amidst elephants, lions and the like but then they should know by now that whenever the Tasting Scotland team go on an adventure there is only one thing at the centre of the experience. Yes, food, and premium quality Scottish at that. So what does a Scottish Safari look like? And where do we recommend you go for a truly relaxing day out?A safari is generally considered to be a "journey of discovery". Therefore strictly speaking any one of our culinary, food and drink tours could be considered a Safari. Perhaps in giving you ...

Describing all manner of interesting facts like eh.....which mushrooms are poisonous!As a long time forager, starting with wild rasps and blackberries when aged 5 in some hedgerows at the back of my grandparent’s house in Aberdeenshire, I was then introduced to Perthshire’s wild mushroom wilderness by an Italian colleague when working at the 5 star Gleneagles Hotel.

That’s what we love the most about vertical tastings it allows everyone to pin-point their own ...
Tasting Perthshire – Foodie Heaven
Greetings Fellow Foodies!
The Late Summer Outing: Scintillating Success
Our journey to Perth was fascinating: delicate oils, delicious speciality smoked salmon & trout, lunch from a Master Chef, and to complete a perfect day; some distinctive Scottish fruit wines. Theme for the day: 'local as can be'. This is what I love about Scotland, whether on the banks of River Tay or on the farms of Madderty – locally grown, artisan production and gastronomic delights lie all around us (and that's what our tours take you out and find).
On this occasion, out first stop was the 50-year old Ferneyfold Farm, where they specialise in making the most exquisite ...
