I’m already packing my bag and planning my trip up there right now!

Scotland is very on-board with the vegan lifestyle with other businesses opening such as a vegan hotel called The Saorsa 1875 which is open to all vegans, vegetarians and veg-curious travelers looking for a place to feel welcome. The hotel is based in Pitlochry within the heart of Scotland and is extremely popular.
There are many recommended things to try whilst in Scotland if you’re a vegan which include Iron Bru – an orange fizzy drink is actually more popular than coca-cola in Scotland and definitely has a unique flavour you wont find in any other fizzy drink. Another recommendation is single malt whisky although we should mention that it has to be single malt whisky and not a cream liqueur or contain honey.
Scotland has seen a huge rise in Veganism compared to that of Wales or England the Scottish Sun reported, saying that the numbers of Scottish public who went vegan in January broke its previous record also going on to state that it was more popular than the Dry January in which people stop consuming alcohol for the whole of January.
