Mull Haggis

Jeanette Cutlack is one of the few haggis makers in the Hebrides. She began making it a few years ago from her home at Ballygown near Torloisk, overlooking the Isle of Ulva, when her son’s school was hosting a Burns lunch. She offered to give it a try. Having worked in commercial kitchens in the past, she thought it would not be too difficult; she soon realised haggis-making is a challenge! But, ever one to embrace new skills, she thought she might as well give it a go. It went down well and so she resolved to continue, perfecting it as no-one on the island made it. Thankfully, Mull has its own slaughterhouse so getting hold of the ingredients did not prove hard.
