Traders
Every stall is an independent Scottish business. No franchises, no wholesale-only, no direct selling.
Getting here
Parking is signposted from the main road. Trader vehicles are moved off site before we open.
Meet the makers
Ash Studio
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels with a matte speckle and a raw clay foot.
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.
Bothy Brewing
Craft beer & cider
I brew hoppy pale ales and a stout unfiltered and unpasteurised, so keep it cold.
Bracken Studio
Knitwear & textiles
I weave scarves and throws on a floor loom in undyed fleece from a flock I know by name. Custom colours if you can wait three weeks.
Braeside Apiary Co
Honey & bees
I make mead and sell honey from my own hives never heated, never filtered beyond the coarse strain. Candles and wraps from the wax, so nothing’s wasted.
Braeside Honey
Honey & bees
I make mead and sell honey from my own hives taken up to the heather in August. Bring your jar back and I’ll refill it.
Bramble Jams
Preserves & chutneys
I forage and preserve — bramble, elderflower, rowan, rosehip with no pectin and no artificial anything.
Clyde Barista Co
Hot drinks
I do hot chocolate with proper Scottish cream and mulled apple through the winter markets. I can run all day on one gas bottle.
Corrie Candles
Candles & home fragrance
I make candles in salvaged whisky bottles scented with essential oils, never synthetics. Sniff before you buy — the stall is set up for it.
Glen & Field
Fruit & veg
I grow salad, herbs and heritage tomatoes on a market garden in the Clyde Valley.
Hot Kitchen Co
Street food
I serve fresh pasta cooked on the pitch from a converted horsebox with a proper oven in it.
Kelpie Loaf
Bakery & cakes
I make laminated pastries — croissants, cruffins, morning buns in small batches from a converted garage kitchen.
Kelpie Press
Art & prints
I paint Scottish coastline in watercolour from sketches done on the hill, not from photos.
Loch Fyne & Creel
Fish & seafood
I hot- and cold-smoke salmon and haddock over oak in a smokehouse I built myself. I sell out by 1pm most weeks.
Muirhead Croft
Fruit & veg
I grow chillies, garlic and unusual brassicas picked the evening before the market. What’s on the stall is what’s ready — the list changes weekly.
Rowan Distillers
Gin & whisky
I make a spiced rum and a coffee liqueur in batches of about 200 bottles at a time.
Rowan Knits
Knitwear & textiles
I weave scarves and throws on a floor loom in Scottish lambswool from a mill in the Borders. The bobble hats keep the whole stall afloat.
Rowan Store
Preserves & chutneys
I forage and preserve — bramble, elderflower, rowan, rosehip from fruit grown in the Clyde Valley. I label every jar with the batch and the week it was made.
Steam Coffee Co
Hot drinks
I roast my own beans and serve them from a trailer roasted in Renfrew the week of the market. I can run all day on one gas bottle.
Strath Growers
Fruit & veg
I grow salad, herbs and heritage tomatoes on a market garden in the Clyde Valley. I compost every scrap that doesn’t sell.
Sugar & Tablet
Sweets & fudge
I make Scottish tablet and fudge stirred by hand in a copper pan. Gift boxes and wedding favours to order.
Sweetie Confectionery
Sweets & fudge
I make Scottish tablet and fudge stirred by hand in a copper pan. Everything’s made within 48 hours of the market.
Wee Emporium
Vintage & upcycled
I restore and sell mid-century glassware sized properly, because vintage sizing lies. I take trade-ins at the stall.
Whin Pottery
Ceramics
I throw porcelain and carve it by hand glazed in oatmeal, sea green and off-white. Mugs, jugs and bowls made to be used every day.
Whin Store
Preserves & chutneys
I make Seville marmalade and seasonal jellies using whatever the season gives me.
