Tipsy Laird (Lord) is another delicious Scottish dessert. Although it contains raspberries and whisky and of course cream, the same as Crannachan, this dessert is very similar to the English version of the Sherry Trifle. Read more It is seen as a special dessert, often used on special occasions like Christmas or New Year, and certainly at a Burns Supper. It is deliciously sweet but less heavy than Clootie Dumpling or Christmas Pudding. See less
