Islamic heritage in Scotland

One of the most inspirational examples of Muslim heritage in Scotland is the GlaswegAsians exhibition in Glasgow. This exhibition contains a fascinating timeline from 1855 and exposes historical items such as a 250 year old Quran and medals awarded to Muslim soldiers serving in World War 1. The colorful heritage of Muslims is celebrated and promoted in Scotland and is a heart-warming site to see and is present in the everyday life of major cities. There are now many beautiful mosques to visit in the cities that have become hubs for the community and a welcoming place for all to pray.

The Scots are known for their warm reception toward anyone visiting their country. The long-standing connection between Scotland stems from Scots traveling to many countries with Muslim populations over the centuries. The first Muslims to come to Scotland were seamen and servants brought over from India during the 18th century and Muslim travelers began to settle in Scotland toward the end of the 19th Century. For Muslim travelers, this can be seen in its prime with the invention of a new kilt, the ‘Scottish Islamic Tartan’, created specially for the Scottish Muslim citizens. The colors of the kilt are a fine example of cultures weaving together for the future. With blue representing the Scottish flag, green for Islam, a black square for the holy Kaaba, five lines for the 5 pillars and six lines for the 6 articles of faith, Scottish culture and Islam go hand in hand.

Halal food and restaurants in Scotland

Halal food is accessible for the Muslim traveler with a variety of delicacies on offer in the major cities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow, including Lebanese, Turkish, Indian, Italian food and many more. With influences from all over the globe, there are many different restaurants worth trying on your halal getaway.

To get a more traditional Scottish feel for your tastebuds, there are halal options for authentic fare like Haggis and Full English Breakfasts in tourist areas like Edinburgh’s Grassmarket at Zaza’s. Another Scottish food is the deep-fried Mars Bar, a Mars-brand chocolate bar covered in batter then deep fried in oil that originated near Aberdeen, a unique dish that can be sampled in eateries across Scotland. A popular place worth mentioning is Mary’s Milk Bar in Edinburgh, an ice cream parlor with an unparalleled selection of flavors that change every day, a fun option for the whole family to enjoy.
