DUMFRIES’ The Little Bakery has picked up two awards at the prestigious 2025 World Championship Scotch Pie Awards.
This year’s competition saw over 539 products entered by 88 butchers, bakeries and pie makers across Scotland.
Following an intense judging day, 50 expert judges assessed entries for taste, appearance, smell, and texture across multiple categories – from the iconic Scotch Pie to Football Pies and Savouries, Macaroni Pies, Steak Pies, Sausage Rolls, Hot and Vegetarian Savouries, Haggis Savouries, Bridies, and Apple Pies.
The winners were announced on Saturday at the Hilton in Glasgow, where The Little Bakery was awarded gold for its Scotch Pie in the Football Pie and Savoury category and also took home a bronze in the sausage roll category.
Meanwhile Castle Douglas butcher Geirson Bros also took home to accolades, with a silver for their Scotch pie and a gold for their mince Bridie.
Congratulating all the winner, Carol Smillie presented the awards to the winners said: “I am always thrilled to be part of the World Championship Scotch Pie Awards, celebrating the incredible talent and dedication of Scotland’s butchers, bakers and pie makers. Every year, I am amazed by the passion and craftsmanship that goes into creating these delicious pies, and it’s fantastic to see both familiar faces and exciting new talent taking part. The high standard of entries proves that the industry continues to thrive, with more professionals than ever showcasing their skills.
“Congratulations to all of this year’s winners, your hard work and commitment to quality truly deserve to be recognised.”
