Highland businesses scoop awards for delicious pies at national awards ceremony
Butchers and bakeries from the Highlands have claimed prizes at the 2025 World Championship Scotch Pie Awards.
Cafe V8 on Henderson Road claimed three awards for its mince bridie, family steak pie and steak and gravy football pie, which it serves at Ross County.
Harry Gow claimed two accolades for its steak mince pie it serves at Inverness Caledonian Thistle football club and its scotch pie.
Asher’s Bakery was a winner with its sausage roll and steak pie it provides for Nairn County.
The lasagne pie was also a hit for Macleans Highland Bakery.
The ceremony took place on May 10 at the Hilton in Glasgow marking the competition’s 25th anniversary.
Scottish Bakers, the association supporting Scotland’s bakery trade, organises the competition to showcase the skills behind the nation’s much-loved pies - lovingly made from scratch using quality, locally sourced ingredients.
Lesley Cameron, chief executive of Scottish Bakers, said: "This year marks a significant milestone as we celebrate 25 years of the World Championship Scotch Pie Awards.
“It’s a true testament to the passion, skill, and dedication of our butchers, bakers, and pie makers who continue to set the standard for quality and innovation in our industry.
“Our winners should be incredibly proud - to stand out in such a fiercely competitive field is an outstanding achievement. We’re delighted to celebrate Scotland’s pie makers, our ‘Pieoneers’, who keep our rich culinary heritage alive while pushing the craft forward."
