| − | From the famous St Andrews golf course, to romantic castles steeped in history, via whisky distilleries and the famous Loch Ness monster, Scotland is a country of diverse scenery in rugged countryside. It is also known for its famous haggis, the recipe for which varies, but is made using a sheep's stomach bag filled with a mixture of sheep's offal, oatmeal, suet, stock, onions and spices.
