From the humble haggis supper to the finest single malt, Scotland’s food and drink scene is as unique as the nation itself. Rosalind Erskine, a food and drink writer for The Scotsman, is joined by guests and experts to give you an insight into what’s cooking in
Scotland. If you like a good bit of scran, this is the podcast for you. We have produced 2 special episodes of Scran all about that whisky drinker mecca – Feis Ile.
Across these episodes you’ll get a sense of what being at Feis Ile is like. Rosalind visits various distilleries, talks to producers from Islay and Jura and soaks up the wonderful music and entertainment. You will really get a feel for what it’s like to be part of this special island community and this extremely popular week of events. Everything you will hear was recorded at the festival.
