Full Scottish Breakfast · Edinburgh
Edinburgh's defining weekend breakfast: square Lorne sausage, link sausage, back bacon, fried egg, black pudding, white pudding, haggis, tattie scone, grilled tomato, mushrooms and beans. Tea and toast on the side.
The full Scottish breakfast evolved from the 19th-century rural farmhouse meal designed to fuel a full day of labour; the Lorne sausage and the haggis or potato scone components distinguish it from the Full English. Edinburgh weekend establishments (The Cafe Royal, The Scran and Scallie, Maison Bleue) serve traditional versions; tourist establishments add tattie scone and haggis at the Castle end.
