Celebrating World Food Travel Day in Scotland – What to eat on the Isle of Skye
It’s World Food Travel Day! Step on-board this virtual food and drink memory trip around Scotland. In Location No. 2, we journey up to the Isle of Skye, and uncover local Chef Calum Montgomery's 'what you must eat' when on his home island.

Preceding the satisfying crack of a smashed chocolate egg at Easter is the main course, but why is mint the perfect gastro pairing for the sacrifical lamb?
