We are very lucky to have honey from a small beekeeper from Royal Deeside. This is the area where the Queen stays for her summer holiday, although perhaps not this year. Our bee keeper Marz is now retired and looks after her bees and sells honey at local markets.
Here’s a photo of Marz watching her bees return to a skep.
We have created so many unique gift boxes filled with food and drink produced in Scotland over the past several years, each one with a special person in mind. During the current COVID-19 lockdown in Scotland we are reminded how special each and every one of us is.
Unique box filled with Scottish food and gin.
The shop is closed at the moment, but we’ll post again when we’re in a position to reopen and start posting our Special Scottish Gift Box with your loved one in mind.
Stay safe!

It’s been almost eight years since we visited Tunnock’s in Uddingston (near Glasgow) and met Boyd Tunnock while on an amazing tour of the factory, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
Next time you pop into the shop ask me to describe how the famous caramel wafers are made because it’s truly by hand!
Fiona spoke with Mark Ellwood from Condé Nast Traveller about Scotland’s love affair with candy and our wee obsession with sugar.
We have been listed on the Tourist Inspiration website as inspired purveyors of fine Scottish food, drink & gifts.
We have been incredibly lucky to meet a range of fantastically interesting customers who are often in Edinburgh for the first time. They are gushing about their experience of seeing the city and meeting Scots. Lucky us for being part of their holiday story when they return home.
We are fortunate to have been visited by Janet Christie of Scotland on Sunday who has translated our journey at Cranachan & Crowdie into a poetic, quirky story. We hope you’ll have a read and then pop in to see us.
