OTHER Scottish produce which has been given protected status by the European Commission includes Arbroath Smokies, Orkney beef and lamb, Scotch beef and lamb, Shetland lamb and Native Shetland Wool.
The Arbroath Smokie, which has its roots in the village of Auchmithie, is a hot smoked haddock which must be processed in Arbroath under the terms of its protected status. They were awarded protection in 2004 and are described by the commission as having a "very pleasant, mild, fishy flavour with a light smoky taste".
