Meet the makers
Braeside Honey
Honey & bees
I make mead and sell honey from my own hives taken up to the heather in August.
Carse at the Market
Fruit & veg
I grow no-dig veg on two acres on a market garden in the Clyde Valley.
Corrie Dairy
Cheese & dairy
I make raw-milk cheese on my family’s farm from a herd of forty Ayrshires just outside Kilmarnock.
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.
Kelpie Loaf
Bakery & cakes
I make laminated pastries — croissants, cruffins, morning buns in small batches from a converted garage kitchen. Gluten-free options on the middle table — clearly labelled and made separately.
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.
Machair Plants
Plants & flowers
I grow British cut flowers suited to actual west-of-Scotland weather.
Muirhead & Game
Butcher & game
I make square sausage, black pudding and haggis to a family recipe that predates the shop. Chilled display and a generator on outdoor pitches.
Ochil Farm
Butcher & game
I sell wild venison and game in season shot within twenty miles and processed the same week.
Press Illustration
Art & prints
I cut and print lino by hand in two or three colours, printed in my kitchen.
Retro Salvage
Vintage & upcycled
I restore and sell mid-century glassware cleaned, repaired and honestly described.
Rowan Growers
Plants & flowers
I grow hardy perennials and herbs suited to actual west-of-Scotland weather. Everything’s grown, not bought in.
Silver & Metal
Jewellery
I set Scottish beach glass and agate with a hammered finish that catches the light. Free resizing for life on every ring I make.
Skerry Atelier
Jewellery
I hand-forge everyday pieces in silver and brass with a hammered finish that catches the light.
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.
Whin Candles
Candles & home fragrance
I pour soy candles in reusable glassware scented with essential oils, never synthetics. Everything’s vegan and cruelty-free.
Whin Spirits
Gin & whisky
I make a rhubarb and a navy-strength gin picked on the Ayrshire coast in early summer. I hold my own occasional licence for every event I trade at.
