As the official Year of Food & Drink, there's no doubting that 2015 will boast plenty of edible excitement.
Trying to the navigate the groaning schedule of delicious activities and restaurants, however, is something else entirely.
Luckily, VisitScotland asked both the public and selected top chefs to come up with their suggestions of what makes Scotland unique and has produced 15 must-see or do bucket list experiences - one in every region of the country.
From wild berry picking in the Borders to experiencing an Ayrshire sausage (quiet up the back, there), here's the hot 15.
Do you agree with the list? Is there anything you feel has been glaringly omitted? Leave your comments along with your name in the box at the foot of the article. Usual forum rules apply.
1 Fish & chips at the harbour in Anstruther
Faith Liddell is a fan: "The award-winning Anstruther Fish Bar is a legend with some of the best fish and chips in the UK. Waiting in the queue, watching screens with images of local fishermen struggling in rough seas to catch your dinner, makes that deep fried fish taste even more marvellous."
2 A meal at the Andrew Fairlie Michelin Star Restaurant, the Strathearn or afternoon tea at Gleneagles
This was a choice of Chef Tom Lewis, from the Monachyle Mhor Hotel in Perthshire, who said: "One of the dishes had a couple of pistachios on it. Still to this day, one of the best pistachios I have ever eaten."
3 Wild berry picking in the Scottish Borders
According to Chef Carina Contini, owner of restaurants in Edinburgh including Contini Cannonball: "The idea of free fruit on a hedge along a country walk. My children get as excited as I did when I was their age."
4 A meal at one of the restaurants on Thistle Street in the Capital, including Iris and the Bon Vivant
Andrew Jowett, Gleneagles' Head Golf Professional suggested: "Bon Vivant, on Edinburgh's Thistle Street. [It] is a really atmospheric night out. They do tapas-style dishes with a twist - like haggis bon bons and chorizo in cider - and have a cracking cocktail list."
5 Frankie's fish & chips, located in the village of Brae on the shores of Busta Voe in the Shetland Isles
As suggested by Facebook fan Silvestre Selvatica who added: "[Shetland] is a place out of the world, with breathtaking views, dramatic skies and lots of puffins so friendly that if you sit on the grass on the ledge they will eventually come to you .. Making you feel like you're melting into nature."
6 Enjoying a Scottish breakfast, including Ayrshire sausage, during a stay at one of the many seafront guesthouses and B&Bs in Ayrshire
Facebook fan John Anderson said: "Brekkie in the By the Sea guest house in Ayr...truly heroic."
7 Eating a genuine Aberdeen buttery in Aberdeenshire
Including Facebook fan Carol Taylor who loves these savoury delights which are also known as "Rowies, morning rolls in Aberdeen!"

Those who suggested this included Facebook fan Simon Bernard who said "The Artisan in Wishaw [has] the best selection of whisky in the world!"
12 A pilgrimage to the Isle of Skye, home to globally revered restaurants such as the Three Chimneys
Facebook fan Jackie Godward enjoys "Freshly picked mussels on the Isle of Skye. We picked them at Broadford and took them back to the cottage to cook them with wine, chilli and garlic. Best mussels ever!"
13 A picnic by Loch Lomond
This would be the choice of Facebook fan Julia Knauf who added that "plenty of shortbread" would make the experience extra special!
