On this episode of Scran Rosalind chats to David and Michael Neave - the father and son duo who have played more than an important part in the success of Amber restaurant. Amber celebrates 25 years in business this year. Located in the Scottish Whisky Experience it was one of the first visitor attractions to launch a restaurant and since then has gone from strength to strength. David founded the restaurant and when Michael was young he would come to visit his father at work where his fascination for cooking began. She speaks to them both about the significant family history that is tied up in their work. About how the restaurant was a forerunner of many trends we see in food and drink today and about their passion for good food.To celebrate 25 years in business Michael developed an anniversary menu which became a project many of the longstanding team got involved in. Each dish was chosen for the memories it carries of the suppliers, the team, and the guests and all those who shaped the restaurant over 25 years. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bonus Episode - Scran on the Road - Orkney part 2 - Barony Mill and Highland Park
On this Scran on the Road special, producer Kelly and Rosalind spent two days travelling around Orkney, thanks to Orkney Marketing and Orkney.com, where they encountered so many interesting people and places that they couldn't fit it all into one episode. On the second part of the road trip, Rosalind goes to Barony mill where she meets Alister Harcus. This is a fascinating look at such an historic building still functioning as well as the day it was built. Alister shows Rosalindl around the mill, explaining the different processes and history. A trip to Orkney wouldn't have been complete without a visit to Highland Park. Rosalind sat down with Graham Bruce, Visits and Retail Operations Manager to hear all about the changes to the distillery in recent times. They also discuss the downturn in the industry and a change in their marketing strategy which had peaked her interest. You'll hear parts of the tour of the distillery Rosalind went on too with tour guide Darren. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Bonus Episode - previewing The Scottish Game Fair 2026
Summer in Scotland can mean one thing for a lot of people - the chance to get out and about and enjoy the fairs and agricultural shows that are taking place across the country. One such popular annual event is The Scottish Game Fair. Taking place at Scone Palace between 3 and 5 July, it celebrates Scotland's rich countryside heritage through fishing demonstrations, various animal competitions, interactive events, the Scottish Venison Cookery Theatre and much more. Rosalind wanted to hear more about what visitors could expect, so she spoke to the cookery theatre curator Daniela Forbes, who is a chef and food stylist.Sarah Rankin also joined the podcast. Sarah is one of the chefs who is appearing at this year's event and is a MasterChef finalist and food writer.Rosalind asked them about how they got involved with the Scottish Game Fair, how they go about curating and planning the demonstrations and why venison is something we don't always reach for in preparing our regular meals.
