Haggis is of course synonymous with the annual Burns Supper – but it doesn't always have to be that way.
Haggis is of course synonymous with the annual Burns Supper – but it doesn't always have to be that way.

A Burns Night staple, haggis doesn't have to be for just once a year.

The savoury pudding can be a bit of an acquired taste, many put off not even by the taste but simply by the thought of what it contains.

Even for its fans, though, haggis can be a rare treat – the sort of meal you only think of preparing once a year, when Burns Night rolls around.

It doesn't have to be that way though, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy Scotland's national dish when you're out and about – and in a variety of forms besides.

One of the city's leading hospitality venues offers traditional favourite haggis, neeps and tatties on its lounge menu.

As comfort food it's hard to beat.

Munlochy

Showing off the versatility of the food stuff here you can enjoy haggis pakora, accompanied by chilli jam.

And if meat is not your thing you don't have to miss out as a veggie version is available too.

Another variation on the theme, on the city hotel's small pates menu you can enjoy Cockburn's haggis croquettes with whisky sauce as both a lunch or dinner option.

At one of Inverness's best pubs, while imbibing you can also enjoy stacked haggis, neeps and tatties with whisky sauce and an oatcake as a starter – or as a main course why not try their Highland Chicken – a chicken breast stuffed with haggis accompanied by a pepper sauce.

The Friary

Beauly

Previously mentioned as one of the top places to get fish and chips, the chip shop in the picturesque village of Beauly also does a mean haggis supper for when you don't have time to sit down and eat but really need your trad meal fix.
