Meet the makers
Auld Grill
Street food
I run a wood-fired pizza van from my mum’s recipes, adapted for a queue.
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.
Clyde Seafood
Fish & seafood
I sell shellfish landed on the west coast over oak in a smokehouse I built myself.
Harris Est. 2019
Knitwear & textiles
I sew tweed bags and travel accessories in Scottish lambswool from a mill in the Borders.
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.
Muirhead & Game
Butcher & game
I make square sausage, black pudding and haggis to a family recipe that predates the shop.
Whin Bakery
Bakery & cakes
I make laminated pastries — croissants, cruffins, morning buns fresh the morning of the market, never the night before.
Whin Spirits
Gin & whisky
I make a rhubarb and a navy-strength gin picked on the Ayrshire coast in early summer.
