Lifestyles lead Lee Austin was involved in activities to mark the Scottish institution, including giving the time-honoured address to the ‘Great chieftain O’ the pudding race’ – the haggis.
General manager Paul Middleton-Russell thought it was a perfect occasion to celebrate an afternoon steeped in age-old tradition as well as getting in a spot of Scotch whisky tasting, and sampling of the traditional dessert Cranachan.

Our residents enjoyed a hearty meal of Scotch broth, and a choice of haggis with neeps and tatties, Scottish salmon, and braised beef brisket all prepared by our stellar chef, Chris Gray Grana-Priego. We also had great fun discovering how much, or is some cases how little(!), we knew about Scotland with our brilliant Scottish quiz.”
