Meet the makers
Ash Workshop
Woodwork
I turn bowls and boards from Scottish hardwood from windblown elm, ash and sycamore. Names burned on while you wait.
Auld Est. 2019
Street food
I run a wood-fired pizza van from a converted horsebox with a proper oven in it. I can serve 120 an hour if the queue’s moving.
Auld Feast
Street food
I run a Polish street food kitchen — pierogi and bigos using Scotch beef and a griddle that never gets cold. Vegan option always on, not as an afterthought.
Bothy Coffee
Hot drinks
I serve speciality coffee and hot chocolate from a converted Piaggio with a two-group machine. First fifty cups are always the best — get in early.
Bothy at the Market
Candles & home fragrance
I make candles in salvaged whisky bottles with cotton wicks and a proper cure time.
Braeside Botanicals
Plants & flowers
I grow hardy perennials and herbs from what I’ve grown and dried through the season.
Glen Crumb
Bakery & cakes
I make traybakes and celebration cakes fresh the morning of the market, never the night before. Everything sells out by lunchtime, which I take as a good sign.
Kelpie Press
Art & prints
I paint Scottish coastline in watercolour from sketches done on the hill, not from photos. Prints come unframed with a backing board and a plastic-free sleeve.
Loch Illustration
Art & prints
I paint Scottish coastline in watercolour and print them on heavy cotton paper.
Machair Gin Co
Gin & whisky
I make a spiced rum and a coffee liqueur with juniper, whin flower and sea buckthorn. Off-sales only unless the event has a bar licence.
Ochil Meats
Butcher & game
I make square sausage, black pudding and haggis shot within twenty miles and processed the same week.
Rowan Knits
Knitwear & textiles
I weave scarves and throws on a floor loom in Scottish lambswool from a mill in the Borders.
Whin Bakery
Bakery & cakes
I make laminated pastries — croissants, cruffins, morning buns fresh the morning of the market, never the night before. Everything sells out by lunchtime, which I take as a good sign.
Whin Croft
Fruit & veg
I grow chillies, garlic and unusual brassicas under polytunnels I put up myself.
