The culinary culture and history of Lewis will be celebrated at a food festival in Stornoway later this week.
The An Lanntair food festival will feature chefs, food producers, writers and musicians for a two-day programme of events.
Starting on Friday evening, there will be a set menu with local chef Alasdair MacLeod, who will talk diners through each delicacies, along with live entertainment.
Saturday will include the Lanntair Open Duff-Off – a blind tasting session by an expert panel before a series of demonstrations.
These include butchery and fish-filleting, as well as how to poach an egg and how to salt herring.
Black pudding, seaweed, scones and oatcakes will also feature, alongside stalls, films, music and debates.
The festival, Fèill Biadh, has received support as part of the Year of Food & Drink, an initiative delivered by VisitScotland.
Scotland’s Food Secretary Richard Lochhead said: “The An Lanntair food festival is the perfect opportunity for people on the Isle of Lewis to reconnect with food and culture. Scotland has a fantastic natural larder, that lends itself to some of the freshest, tastiest produce in the world and the Year of Food and Drink is the ideal platform for people to start rediscovering and appreciating what’s on their doorsteps.
“Eating local, in-season produce not only means you’re getting the freshest and best products, you’re also helping the local economy and giving a boost to hard working farmers and producers.”
