Meet the makers
Bothy Bakehouse
Bakery & cakes
I bake Scottish oven scones, empire biscuits and tablet-topped brownies in small batches from a converted garage kitchen. I take pre-orders through Facebook and hand them over at the stall.
Bothy Beer Co
Craft beer & cider
I make a low-alcohol range and a hazy IPA with Scottish-grown barley wherever I can get it. Mixed cases are the easiest way to try the range.
Glasshouse Plants
Plants & flowers
I grow British cut flowers suited to actual west-of-Scotland weather. Everything’s grown, not bought in.
Heather Larder
Bakery & cakes
I bake Scottish oven scones, empire biscuits and tablet-topped brownies fresh the morning of the market, never the night before. The empire biscuits go first, every single time.
Loch Fyne Catch
Fish & seafood
I sell fresh fish straight off the Kintyre boats landed at Tarbert the day before the market.
Muirhead & Game
Butcher & game
I make square sausage, black pudding and haggis to a family recipe that predates the shop.
Press Illustration
Art & prints
I cut and print lino by hand in two or three colours, printed in my kitchen. Originals on the back wall of the stall.
Press Press
Art & prints
I make screen prints of Glasgow buildings and print them on heavy cotton paper.
Rowan Scotland
Soap & skincare
I make cold-process soap scented with essential oils only. I list the full ingredients on every wrapper.
Rowan Table
Bakery & cakes
I bake Scottish oven scones, empire biscuits and tablet-topped brownies using flour milled in Fife and a 24-hour ferment. Gluten-free options on the middle table — clearly labelled and made separately.
Skerry Prints
Art & prints
I cut and print lino by hand in editions of fifty, signed and numbered. Commissions of your own bit of coast are the popular one.
Wee Kitchen
Bakery & cakes
I bake Scottish oven scones, empire biscuits and tablet-topped brownies fresh the morning of the market, never the night before.
Whin Croft
Fruit & veg
I grow chillies, garlic and unusual brassicas under polytunnels I put up myself. Veg boxes made up on the day.
