Scotland and its people have been portrayed in many different ways across pop culture over the past decades. As a result, there have been consistent elements that people have grown to recognise and associate with Scottish culture. Tartan, whisky, and our heavy accents and confounding dialects!
All of these things are inherently Scottish, but there is more to us than that. People may not know Scotland for its love-affair with folk music and dance. Likewise, people may know of haggis, but do they know about our other national dishes which do not instil fear in their prospective consumers? And what about our other booming distilling industry, gin?
