Immerse yourself in the warmth of traditional Scottish hospitality for a cooking experience and 3-course dinner as you step into the welcoming embrace of local host Nell's stunning 200-year-old home nestled in the heart of Edinburgh.

Under Nell's expert guidance, master the art of preparing a quintessential Scottish soup - Cullen Skink- and craft your very own batch of buttery, melt-in-your-mouth Scottish shortbread.

Dine Nell's elegant sitting room with Scotland's national dish, haggis (meat or vegetarian), served with creamy mashed potatoes and turnips, and enjoy a dram of whisky while you toast to Robert Burns' famous "Ode to a Haggis" poem.
