4.5 / 5
Helmed by Michelin-starred chefs Tom Kitchin and Dominic Jack, this version elevates the humble broth into a culinary masterpiece. It uses the traditional 'sheep's heid' (sheep's head) preparation method for a depth of marrow-rich flavor rarely found in modern kitchens.

Cited by TasteAtlas as one of the best places globally for this specific dish, it is served in one of Edinburgh's most historic pubs (dating back to 1516). The broth is famously thick, almost a meal in itself, staying true to the 'spoon-standing' consistency of old recipes.
