From pies to pastries, bread to brownies, Scotland boasts an array of fantastic bakeries. Now, renowned gastronomic guide La Liste has put together the league table of Scottish shops and restaurants where you can enjoy the best the country has to offer.
La Liste has pulled together the top pastry outlets across the world to celebrate “the diversity of talents, the creativity and audacity, education, and the commitment to values such as seasonality and biodiversity”. Among them are 24 Scottish bakeries, including an Edinburgh shop said to boast signature apple pie and custard, and rhubarb, custard and almond cake.
Lannan – Gaelic for ‘house’ – is located in the city’s Stockbridge area and was named among the pastry opening of the year winners. Opened by self-taught baker Darcie Maher who grew up in the Scottish Borders, she has created a “welcoming space with an expansive glass counter, and a hatch through to the busy kitchen”.
