659186 Tue Oct 13 12:58:30 -0700 2009 6 28 Kosher 0 5100330 I'm going to be traveling to Scotland for vacation in November. Does anyone have information on kosher food? It seems like Glasgow has one restaurant. Beyond that is there anything? Are basics available in grocery stores or should I bring food from London? I'll be in London for a couple days before Scotland and then starting in Edinburgh before going to the Highlands. For London I've found some of the previous posts. Anything new/exciting since this post in July? http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/636863 Thanks.

There are no Kosher establishments in the city. I am sure there are Kosher products available in the supermarkets but you have to know that many Kosher products do not have any markings but appear on the Kosher List of the London Beit Din. It is very hard to navigate if you don't know the system. There is one Orthodox shul, the Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation, but they usually only have a minyan on Shabbat and Chag. You can look them up to get more info. They have some arrangement with a Bakery for some Kosher products Bottom line--- bring your own food Wed Oct 14 03:58:23 -0700 2009 5100330 23277 sja 1 5145713 There is one gourmet Kosher restaurant in Glasgow Scotland. You can visit the Restaurant or order Kosher Meals which can be delivered to any hotel and location throughout Scotland http://www.lchaimsrestaurant.co.uk/ Sat Oct 31 16:06:40 -0700 2009 5100330 1120711 Lubscot 2 5146857 What was the point of this reply? The poster already knew about the restaurant in Glasgow. And is it really "gourmet"? I'd rather doubt that the only kosher restaurant in an entire country would be gourmet.
