Product Information

Launching across Scottish stores from the 8th April, the Scottish Larder line-up also includes the nation’s favourite pakora maker, Mrs Unis.

The final at Inverness Cathedral on 25th March is set to be a great day out for all the family so I’d welcome everyone to come along, get involved and see who is crowned Highland Shortbread Showdown Champion!” If you are searching for things to do in Fort Augustus, we can help you get started with your ‘to do list’. Launched by Visit Inverness Loch Ness (VILN), the Highland Shortbread Showdown is a competition for tourism businesses across the Highlands to enter their version of the region’s favourite biscuit for the chance to be crowned the ultimate winner.

The Energy Saving Trust started co-ordinating the free e-bike trials delivered through HES in 2018. All products are handmade with no artificial ingredients and the company is currently developing a new range of reduced-sugar products in collaboration with Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh. “You have to be innovative in the food and drink industry and it’s something we pride ourselves on,” said Mr Cameron. Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse. The shortlisted shortbread biscuits will be judged by four well-known bakers from the Highlands - Kirsten Gilmour (KJ) from KJ’s Bothy Bakery (formerly the Mountain Café); Jeni Iannetta from Bad Girl Bakery; Craig Wilson aka The Kilted Chef; and Steven Traill from Rain Bakery. Among the judges will be Kirsten Gilmour, KJ's Bothy Bakery.

Hainan Airlines started operating twice-weekly direct flights between Edinburgh and Beijing in June although Mr Cameron has been bringing Chinese tourists to the Highlands since last year and, after forging links with a travel company, will bring 12,000 visitors from China this year.

We’re particularly excited about this new range because it’s responding to the Scottish Government’s diet and obesity strategy,” he continued. “We were ahead of the curve when we launched our gluten-free range and we’re ahead with this too as the government looks to improve the Scottish diet out of the home. Many of our recipes have been handed down from family and friends and have not changed one bit... my grandmother's coffee cake, my sister's gingerbread, Elma's fruit loaf ...Rory Cameron - Director

The ‘Outdoor Capital of the UK’ is close by to Fort Augustus and it will take tourists around forty-five minutes to get there. Known as Scotland’s playground, Fort William is the perfect getaway for adrenaline junkies. Cobbs inherited many of its recipes from the owners of that small farmhouse bakery while others have been handed down from family and friends. From muffins and scones to traybakes and cupcakes, there’s a Cobbs cake for everyone – including a gluten-free range that is produced in a dedicated factory built in 2016. For us, it’s also about opening up new markets for the business and being innovative in the process. We make cakes so we’re right in the firing line but happy to rise to the challenge and create products that are healthier but still very much a treat.”
