A message from our Ambassadors

We were very proud to win the Highland Food and Drink Ambassadors of the Year Award in 2023 through the Highlands and Islands Food and Drink Awards. 

This recognition would simply not be possible without all the hard work that goes into the awards themselves and also the fantastic array of Highland Food and Drink Producers in the community we are all part of across the Highlands and Islands. Through our event and outside catering business, we are so proud to be able to take the fantastic range of local produce and showcase it at local events providing some of the best Highland Food and Drink Experiences in the Highlands. 

As an example last Christmas our Good Highland Food Team hosted a Texan couple getting married at Dalcross Castle. Their wedding meal was Haggis Piped in with all the Character of Spud The Piper. It was addressed by Willie Cameron and his Sonsie Face, the next course was pheasant delivered by Kingussie based International Hunting following the couples morning shoot, the main course was Venison fillet delivered by Simpson Game and a Highland Cheeseboard of Highland Fine Cheeses with Mike’s famously good Homemade Chutney.  

Not forgetting our Canapés of Great Glen Charcuterie and Hand Dived Shetland Scallops supplied by Billy 'the Fish' of Seastocks, our favourite Hebridean Oatcakes delivered to us for many years by John Munro drivers and then Isle of Skye Fudge to accompany the coffee.  

The hugely talented Bruce MacGregor played fiddle and told Highland Stories throughout the evening – this was a complete Highland Food and Drink Experience, local food, local stories, local culture, local talent – we are truly a unique Highland community with unique Food and Drink Experiences to offer visitors from across the world and we are proud to have been recognised for twenty years of Good Highland Food and our focus on use of the fantastic local produce we have here in the Highlands. 

We would urge our fellow Highland Food and Drinks businesses to support the development of the awards, to put forward an application , not only to reap the benefits from recognition as we have but to continue to elevate the importance of local food and drink in the Highlands.
