  • Scottish Selection

We have put together a very special selection of Scotland's best cheeses, together with traditional Highland oatcakes and a fabulously more-ish chutney to compliment the cheeses. Just add a glass or two of your favourite single malt (my recommendation would be a wee dram of Lagavulin), some friends and a whole heap of dancing!

What you get - 250g each of the following cheeses...

Isle of Mull - One of our best selling Cheddars, the Isle of Mull is handmade near Tobermory by Chris and Jeff Read using raw cow's milk and traditional animal rennet. Tangy, nutty and full flavoured with a brittle yet creamy texture. Outstanding.
 
Gruth Dhu - A Churchmouse Cheeses favourite! This beauty from the Highlands of Scotland is a white, rennet-free soft and creamy cheese rolled in oatmeal and black peppercorns to give a hearty, fiery kick! Made with cows milk. Pasteurised and vegetarian. Now referred to as the more English sounding Black Crowdie - it will always be Gruth Dhu to us!
 
Dunsyre Blue - Powerful, tangy blue cheese with streaks of blue/green mould running throughout to impart a distinctive spiciness! Produced by cheesemaker Humphrey Errington in Lanarkshire.  Made from unpasteurised Ayrshire cow's milk using vegetarian rennet.
 
Caboc - The famous Scottish double cream cheese, rumoured to be the Queen's favourite cheese. Rolled in toasted pinhead oatmeal. Very buttery taste and texture. Traditionally eaten as a table cheese in Scotland with oatcakes or spread on a herring fillet and grilled. Vegetarian and pasteurised. Made with cows milk.
 
Specially selected jar of chutney, perfect with our Burn's Night Selection.
 
Highland Mini oatcakes - a perfect bite size! Great with all of the cheeses on our selection.

If this is a gift, please let us know what you would like us to say when ordering (in the field titled "Special Delivery Instructions") and we will put a free gift card in for you!

The following poem, a staple at Burn's Night, seems rightly appropriate!

To A Mouse.

     
 

Wee sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an chase thee,
Wi murdering pattle!

I'm truly sorry man's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union,
An justifies that ill opinion,
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion.
An fellow mortal!

I doubt na, whyles, but thou may thieve:
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen icker in a thrave
'S a sma request;
I'll get a blessin wi the lave,
An never miss't!

Thy wee-bit housie, too, in ruin!
Its silly wa's the win's are strewin!
An naething, now, to big a new ane,
O foggage green!
An bleak December's win's ensuin.
Baith snell an keen!

Thou saw the fields laid bare an waste,
An weary winter comin fast.
An cozie here, beneath the blast,
Thou thought to dwell,
Till crash! the cruel coulter past
Out thro thy cell.

That wee bit heap o leaves an stibble,
Has cost thee monie a weary nibble!
Now thou's turn'd out, for a' thy trouble.
But house or hald,
To thole the winter's sleety dribble,
An cranreuch cauld!

But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o mice an men
Gang aft agley,
An lea'e us nought but grief an pain,
For promis'd joy!

Still thou art blest, compar'd wi me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But och! I backward cast my e'e,
On prospects drear!
An forward, tho I canna see,
I guess an fear!
