Some of the finest baking in the Highlands begins in a home kitchen.
For National Baking Week, a salute to the many wonderful bakers whose work is part of the pleasure of living here and travelling through: the home bakers, café teams, crofters, tearoom owners, fundraiser stalwarts and neighbours who arrive with a tin.
There is real skill in a light scone, a well-made bannock, a crisp piece of shortbread or a fruit cake whose recipe has been carefully kept—and generously shared.
Across the Highlands, baking brings people together. It fills village hall tables, raises money for good causes, welcomes newcomers and makes an ordinary afternoon feel like an occasion.
We’re proud of what comes out of our hotel kitchen, and equally glad to be part of a place with so many fine bakers.
Who makes the baking you always hope will be on the table? Give them a mention below. 🍰
