These stands will celebrate the rich diversity of Scotland’s regions, from island creameries to Borders distilleries, coastal seafood and Highland fudge, this showcase offers visitors a sensory journey through Scotland’s culinary landscape, with producers such as:

East Lothian Pavilion featuring: Belhaven Smokehouse, Buck and Birch, The Chocolate Tree, Company Bakery (among others)
