The baking story of Perth
Perth, the Fair City, sits on the River Tay at the edge of the Highlands, surrounded by some of Scotland's finest soft-fruit country. The fields of Perthshire and the Carse of Gowrie grow raspberries and strawberries that find their way into jams, cranachan and summer tarts. Perth can claim a modern first too: it held Scotland's first farmers' market in 1999, and the market still gathers growers, bakers and producers in the city centre every month. The city regained city status in 2012, and its bakeries sell all the Scottish standards — Scotch pies, shortbread, oatcakes, empire biscuits and tattie scones. Perthshire's estates also supply venison and beef, which turn up in pies and bridies.
Local bakes to look out for
- Raspberry cranachan – Toasted oats, cream, honey and whisky layered with fresh raspberries.
- Shortbread – Rich, crumbly butter biscuit in fingers or rounds.
- Tattie scone – A thin potato scone cooked on the griddle.
Bakery hunter's tip: Time your visit for the monthly farmers' market in the city centre, and in summer look for fresh Perthshire berries in bakery tarts and cakes.
