When we finally emerge from the coronavirus pandemic that has gripped the world, unlocking Scotland’s food tourism potential through its food heritage could be key to aiding our financial recovery.
A national study is exploring the role heritage could play in making the country more appealing to food tourists.
And being in an area that boasts so many amazing food and drink innovators and heritage products such as Arbroath smokies, Forfar bridies, Cullen skink and Stornoway black pudding, the north and north-east of Scotland is well placed to play a massive part.
Media release: Research launched to uncover Scotland’s food and drink heritage aims to help tourism recovery
IN a quest to uncover Scotland’s hidden food heritage, people across Scotland are being asked to rummage in family recipe books, to dig out photos of food events, and to share recommendations of local produce for a new research project called Food Heritage Scotland.
An online survey has been launched to help identify the nation’s food and drink stories, and people across Scotland’s mainland and island communities are being asked to take part. The goal of the research is to support tourism recovery by making it easier for tourism businesses and destinations to promote authentic food and drink heritage to potential visitors.
