Macsween of Edinburgh

Macsween of Edinburgh

Loanhead, United Kingdom

Scotland's best-known haggis maker, run by the Macsween family since 1953. Three generations in, the Loanhead factory south of Edinburgh still follows John Macsween's original recipe: oatmeal, sheep's pluck, onion, pepper, and a precise spice mix that Jo Macsween now oversees. The company also pioneered a vegetarian haggis in the 1980s that is now standard on Burns Night menus. Supplied to supermarkets across the UK, shipped to expatriates worldwide, and still the haggis most often addressed with Burns's "Great chieftain o the puddin-race".
