Venison festival to promote game meat in Scotland

Now in its second year, the festival hopes to promote venison as an easy-to-cook, healthy alternative to beef and chicken through activities like wildlife safaris, clay-pigeon shoots and cookery demonstrations.

In the run-up to the event, chef Julien Miran of The Cowshed Restaurant created a venison ice cream by infusing the milk with venison. A spokesperson for the Cairngorms Destination Management Organisation (DMO) said: “We have received global media coverage, and 75% of people who tried it said they enjoyed it.”

The savoury ice cream will be served at the festival, along with other venison specialities. “More than half of last year’s visitors tried the venison dishes,” the spokesperson added.
