After some discussion about which ones she wanted, Eliza named her wish list as Thomas the Tank, anyone from Cars and
Neep from Abney and Teal.
I
figured Neep might be quite niche, but we had a decent shot of getting one of the other two....
In Scotland, a meal
of neeps, tatties and (vegetarian) haggis found its way into my wary heart; in Portugal my friend and I sipped capirinhas like locals; and after a treacherous donkey ride to the top of the island of Santorini I gobbled down a fry - filled lamb gyro like it was my job.
From gorging on Haggis and black pudding croquettes
with neeps and tatties, to indulging in a classic Cranachan dessert, this Scottish festivity is not one you will want to miss out on.

You can easily pass the days here just wandering the ancient streets, soaking up the stories and the magic, but there are a few attractions that simply should not be missed; the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August is the largest arts festival in the world; a tour inside Edinburgh Castle is expensive but well worth it; Climb Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano; eat haggis and
neeps; Climb to the top of Nelson's Column.
There will be plenty of opportunity on this tour to try Scottish dishes including cullen - skink, chicken balmorale, and of course, haggis,
neeps and tatties.
