The haggis options do not end there, though: Princess Diana Style Haggis is the same as Robert Burn’s haggis, but with a specially made-to-order cream sauce that infused with tomatoes, onions, and Drambuie. If you happen to pop by at breakfast, not dinner, fear not: the Scottish breakfast option includes haggis, along with bacon, sausage, hash browns, mushrooms, beans, eggs, tomatoes, and crispy toasts.

This traditional pub is named after an Edinburgh Skye Terrier called Bobby, who spent 14 years faithfully watching over his master’s grave when his master died in 1858.
