I'm a Canadian Chef, and I'm spending 15 days in Scotland on my honeymoon (we're both over 65!)

but I can't imagine 2 weeks without cooking. Is it possible to join a team for a few hours and make some great food together?
Restaurant, retirement home, cafe, bistro, you name it, I'd love to experience the people and the food. I won't let you down!

Hi @DeborahManion_01
Congratulations to you both! I'm sure you'll have a great time on your honeymoon in Scotland! As far as cooking with a chef in a kitchen you will need to contact businesses directly. I attach a link to restaurants from our website which should help with finding a place. An alternative would be to stay in a self-catering property, buy local produce and cook it yourself. But I understand you might want to exchange ideas and tips with chefs here. Good luck in your quest and best wishes!5 -

@DeborahManion_01 I love the Craigh na Dun filming location
.
I visited there in December 2015. It was stormy though and I would love to go back on a nicer day. It's a stunning area all in its own right.
Remember to look out for the stone wall that was used as the sign post for Craigh na Dun. It's where the car park is for Schiehallion mountain. The Craigh na Dun location is further down the road.
I have more photos on my blog if you're interested: https://loveexploringscotland.com/2015/12/31/outlander-birthday-with-storm-frank/
I've also visited a few other filming locations, but I still have so many places to visit! https://loveexploringscotland.com/category/outlander/
Have a lovely time exploring Scotland!1

If you are heading down Ayrshire way there are a couple of places which normally offer lessons but they might be interested in cooking with you too. There's The Cook School in Kilmarnock and also Home Cook School in Maybole - she can also come to you, if that helps.
But as for cooking in a business kitchen I think it might be as @VisitScotlandMuriel said and be a case of contacting them directly.
