Graced with big skies, ancient architecture, windswept isles, shimmering lochs, and rugged highlands, Scotland is a place steeped in legend and myth. It’s easy to fall under the magical spell (J.K Rowling penned the Harry Potter series here) of this enchanting country, and if you plan to visit the Scottish highlands in autumn-winter, make sure to keep yourself warm with bowls of Cullen Skink. First cooked up in Morayshire on Scotland’s northeast coast, in the comely village of Cullen, this irresistibly-named soup used to sustain the sailors of the Moray Firth – back when fish were both abundant and a fair bit cheaper than the traditional beef base. Its ingredients are simple yet flavorful: the finest locally-smoked Finnan haddock, the best Buchan potatoes, plus onions and cream. And although the dish can be ordered in restaurants all over Scotland, for a taste of skink at its most authentic, try it at the 18th-century Seafield Hotel in Cullen.
