Scotland's varied coastlines and coastal forests named top spots for foraging across UK

Comments

Autumn is a prime season for foraging in Scotland, with blackberries, elderberries, wild garlic, mushrooms, and seaweeds like kelp and dulse coming into abundance. The practice has surged in popularity in recent years, thanks to TikTok tutorials and glossy cookbooks, encouraging travellers to slow down, connect with their surroundings, and take only what is needed. ‌

Scotland’s varied coastline and coastal forests, from the wild landscapes of Argyllshire in the west to the East Neuk of Fife and the northern shores of Moray, offer some of the richest foraging grounds in the UK. ‌

With over 6,000 miles of mainland coast, expanding to around 10,250 miles when including the islands, the country provides almost limitless opportunities for gathering nature’s bounty. ‌
