Scottish Porridge Recipe

In the summer of 2019 we spent 10 days in Scotland on an amazing trek from Edinburgh through the Highlands and to Skye.

We stayed at several great bed and breakfasts along the way, and one of them - Firhall Bed & Breakfast started each morning off with a bowl of porridge before delectable breakfast entrees. Their porridge was amazing with just the right amount of heartiness and texture to avoid the risk that always accompanies the meal: mush. They kindly shared a few tips with us about the couple of types of oats and the tip that they soak one overnight.
