Food and Drink

One of Sutherland's many strengths is the quality of its food and drink.

The county is renowned for the excellence of its locally-sourced produce, and agriculture is still a powerful economic lever in Sutherland.  To learn more, follow the link to our Agriculture page, or learn more about Sutherland's production of world-class seafood.

Sutherland's villages are well served by local shops, stocking a wide range of foodstuffs at reasonable prices.  For those venturing further afield, the major food-shopping opportunities of Inverness are now within easy reach of much of Sutherland.

For such a sparsely-populated part of Scotland, Sutherland has a remarkable number of high-quality restaurants.  For example, see our feature on Brora's "Quiet Piggy" restaurant.  Or go to the drop down menus on our Assistant Links page to find links to a selection of other places to eat in style.
