Scotland is famous because of its whisky, and you will find many distilleries. One of the most famous Scottish dishes is haggis, a stuffed sheep's stomach or pork's bowel, with pieces of hart, liver, lung, kidney fat and oatmeal inside. It is usually served on the occasion of Robert Burns birthday, the 25th of January, with bagpipe music. Robert Burns composed the famous poem "ode to the haggis" towards the end of the 18th century. Unfortunately, a historian claims to have discovered the recipe in an English cookbook of 1616, and thus finds the recipe to be English, much to the dismay of the Scots. They have already declared that the haggis will always be Scottish, no matter what others may suggest.
