Highland Welcome
A one-inch venison tartare cube with juniper, heather honey and foraged herbs
For the Highlands — the landscape Scotland brings with it wherever it goes
Why this bite? Scotland's power is its place. A venison cube of the Highlands — the landscape you can carry in one bite.
The Story
Before the singing and the streets, there was the land. This bite is the Highlands compressed to a cube: hand-cut venison tartare bound with juniper and a whisper of heather honey, dressed in foraged herbs from a Cairngorm hillside. It's the quiet half of the Tartan Army's story — the wildness underneath the celebration.
