Meet the makers
Ash Studio
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels with a matte speckle and a raw clay foot. Everything’s dishwasher safe, whatever the myth says.
Auld Est. 2019
Street food
I run a wood-fired pizza van from a converted horsebox with a proper oven in it.
Auld Feast
Street food
I run a Polish street food kitchen — pierogi and bigos using Scotch beef and a griddle that never gets cold.
Bothy Textiles
Knitwear & textiles
I knit hats, scarves and mitts using Harris tweed offcuts that would be binned.
Braeside Botanicals
Plants & flowers
I grow hardy perennials and herbs from what I’ve grown and dried through the season.
Braeside Candle Co
Candles & home fragrance
I make wax melts and reed diffusers cut and polished in the workshop.
Braeside Scotland
Cheese & dairy
I make cultured butter and crowdie churned twice a week and sold within days. I can post a cheese board anywhere in the UK.
Clay Kiln Co
Ceramics
I hand-build slab vessels with ash glazes I mix from my own wood burner. Everything’s dishwasher safe, whatever the myth says.
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.
Hot Kitchen Co
Street food
I serve fresh pasta cooked on the pitch from a converted horsebox with a proper oven in it.
Kelpie Candles
Candles & home fragrance
I pour soy candles in reusable glassware scented with essential oils, never synthetics.
Kelpie Jewellery
Jewellery
I set Scottish beach glass and agate in a workshop above the kitchen. Free resizing for life on every ring I make.
Muddy Paws & Paws
Pet treats & accessories
I make hand-stitched collars, leads and harnesses from venison, salmon and beef liver.
Ochil Meats
Butcher & game
I make square sausage, black pudding and haggis shot within twenty miles and processed the same week.
Retro Salvage
Vintage & upcycled
I restore and sell mid-century glassware cleaned, repaired and honestly described.
Rolling Truck
Street food
I cook Sri Lankan street food to order from my mum’s recipes, adapted for a queue. Full gas safety and PAT paperwork — I bring it to every event.
Rowan Candle Co
Candles & home fragrance
I pour soy candles in reusable glassware cut and polished in the workshop.
Strath Growers
Fruit & veg
I grow salad, herbs and heritage tomatoes on a market garden in the Clyde Valley.
Sweetie Confectionery
Sweets & fudge
I make Scottish tablet and fudge stirred by hand in a copper pan.
Sweetie Sweetie Shop
Sweets & fudge
I make handmade honeycomb and salted caramels in flavours that change with what’s in season.
Whin Scotland
Knitwear & textiles
I weave scarves and throws on a floor loom in Scottish lambswool from a mill in the Borders.
