6 mouthwatering dishes you have to visit Scotland to try - goodhousekeeping.com

You may have tried the square sausage and the buttery shortbread, but have you had the scallops in Skye or the South American tapas in Glasgow? These days, the Scottish food scene is peppered with Michelin stars, with a focus on the beautiful local produce, artisan producers and international influences. From pop-up seafood shacks on the beach to city centre street food, there are so many exciting new flavours to explore.

We spoke to the locals to discover some of the incredible dishes you could enjoy on a Scottish staycation.

Middle Eastern street food in Glasgow

"I run The DockYard Social in Glasgow, a social dining space hosting some of Scotland's best street food traders - like Yalla, which specialises in Middle Eastern cuisine. Nothing beats their signature baked cauliflower. With 23 ingredients that include turmeric, rase el hanout, pomegranate molasses, homemade tahini and crispy spicy chickpeas to name a few, this is a heavy hitter for the tastebuds. Our vibe is, 'ingredients near, inspiration far'. We aim to exceed expectations, from the incredible murals of our favourite Michelin star chefs on the walls, to the atmosphere, and, of course, the unique cuisine." - Kyle Steel, founder, The DockYard Social

Scotch beef and local crab in Dundee

"I love Jamie Scott's Newport Restaurant in Dundee with its innovative, modern Scottish cooking that champions local food producers. Jamie works with fishermen and farms to feature ingredients such as Scotch beef, local fish and crab from Angus, and Scottish crowdie, a local cheese. The bar features whisky from Kingsbarns Distillery and Eden Mill, and beer from St Andrews Brewing Co. Some outstanding dishes to try are the asparagus with East Neuk crab, 'Okonomoyaki' peasemeal pancake with homemade pancetta and katsuboshi flakes, and the 70-day aged beef with sweet bread, ox cheek and carrots in whey butter." - May, EatCookExplore

South American/Scottish tapas in Edinburgh

"Edinburgh has a diverse, multicultural food scene, and Superico 83 is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it hotspot. The slick basement restaurant on Hanover Street is one of a kind. Owners Juan and Vanessa serve up small plates inspired by Juan's home country of Chile. Utilising Scotland's impressive larder and top quality produce, you might find scallops and oysters from Arran transformed into ceviche, or beef from Lanarkshire marinated in a fiery mojo rojo sauce and served seared. With an ever-evolving menu, they'll keep you coming back for more time after time!"- Kim, The Wee Food Blogger

Scallops and chips in Skye

"In search of fresh shellfish, I recently ventured west where produce is served al fresco and unadulterated, still tasting of the sea. We parked up at The Oyster Shed in Carbost, Skye, famed as a paradise for seafood lovers. And you soon learn why. Moments later, silky oysters appeared, shucked before our eyes, and were followed with plump, garlic-butter-brushed scallops. Sure, it’s nothing ground-breaking, but I’ve travelled most of the world and never experienced seafood quite like it. Simple, succulent and proudly Scottish. I’ll rave about that cardboard box of food forever." - Ailidh Forlan, Plate Expectations

Caramelised pork in the Pentland hills

"Farm and supper club, The Free Company is a kind of rural utopia. Rearing their own pigs and growing their own vegetables, the owners create menus from their seasonal produce and serve guests in a converted hayloft at long, communal tables. Bread, rare-breed pork and vegetables are cooked over wood and infused with the flavour of charcoal for hearty home-style fare, and the meat comes blushing in the centre with caramelised edges and crispy fat. It represents a wider trend of young people in Scotland reinvigorating rural life with fresh ideas, which signals an exciting food future." - Rosie Conroy, food writer

North Sea cod and whisky in the Scottish Borders

"Tucked away in the historic market town of Melrose is Provender - one of the places to eat in the Scottish Borders. From the juicy haunch of Perthshire venison and sweet native lobster, to the meaty West coast scallops, the menu is a Celtic culinary adventure. For me, the dish has to be the roasted North Sea cod with Scottish girolles and buttons, a fricassee of herb gnocchi and a champagne butter sauce. Whisky fans won't be disappointed by the impressive selection either, including a 16 year old Lagavulin (if you know, you know) while the beer menu is supplied by the nearby Tempest brewery in Tweedbank." - Eimear O'Hagan, food writer
