Meet the makers
Ash Studio
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels with a matte speckle and a raw clay foot.
Auld Grill
Street food
I run a wood-fired pizza van from my mum’s recipes, adapted for a queue.
Bonnie Hound Co
Pet treats & accessories
I make air-dried single-ingredient treats so you can actually read the ingredients. Sizing on the stall, so bring the dog.
Bothy Cider
Craft beer & cider
I brew a dark mild and a Scottish 80/- in a ten-barrel plant outside Alloa. Mixed cases are the easiest way to try the range.
Bothy Kiln Co
Ceramics
I throw porcelain and carve it by hand glazed in oatmeal, sea green and off-white.
Braeside Studio
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels glazed in oatmeal, sea green and off-white.
Carse Farm
Fruit & veg
I grow chillies, garlic and unusual brassicas picked the evening before the market.
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.
Hedgerow Larder
Preserves & chutneys
I make small-batch jams, jellies and marmalades using whatever the season gives me. I label every jar with the batch and the week it was made.
Hot Kitchen Co
Street food
I serve fresh pasta cooked on the pitch from a converted horsebox with a proper oven in it. I can serve 120 an hour if the queue’s moving.
Kiln Ceramics
Ceramics
I make small-batch tableware with a matte speckle and a raw clay foot.
Retro & Found
Vintage & upcycled
I upcycle furniture and small homeware sized properly, because vintage sizing lies. If it can be mended I mend it rather than scrap it.
Reworked Emporium
Vintage & upcycled
I sell curated vintage clothing sized properly, because vintage sizing lies.
Rowan Knits
Knitwear & textiles
I weave scarves and throws on a floor loom in Scottish lambswool from a mill in the Borders.
Rowan Larder
Bakery & cakes
I bake Scottish oven scones, empire biscuits and tablet-topped brownies in small batches from a converted garage kitchen.
Rowan Scotland
Soap & skincare
I make cold-process soap scented with essential oils only.
Silver & Metal
Jewellery
I set Scottish beach glass and agate with a hammered finish that catches the light.
Skerry & Metal
Jewellery
I make recycled silver jewellery by hand in a workshop above the kitchen. Free resizing for life on every ring I make.
Skerry Prints
Art & prints
I cut and print lino by hand in editions of fifty, signed and numbered.
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. Gluten-free options on the middle table — clearly labelled and made separately.
Wee Kitchen Co
Street food
I run a Polish street food kitchen — pierogi and bigos from my mum’s recipes, adapted for a queue. I need a 3m x 6m pitch and I bring my own generator.
Whin Preserves
Preserves & chutneys
I make small-batch jams, jellies and marmalades using whatever the season gives me. Tasting spoons on the stall — try before you buy.
Whin Soap Co
Soap & skincare
I make bath salts and body oils with calendula, comfrey and chickweed I grow myself. Plastic-free packaging throughout.
