4.5(145)·From £95.00·2h

From shortbread and oatcakes to traditional Selkirk bannock, Campbell's Bakery offers hands-on classes celebrating Scotland's most cherished baking traditions. Based in Crieff, Perthshire, this working bakery is run by Iain Campbell, a seventh-generation award-winning baker who brings generations of Scottish baking knowledge to each session. The classes focus on authentic Scottish recipes that have been passed down through centuries. The Traditional Scottish Shortbread Baking Experience teaches you to mix, bake and taste your way through Scotland's trinity of beloved bakes: shortbread, oatcakes and bannocks, all in one comprehensive two-hour session. Each technique is demonstrated in the bakery's working environment, where traditional methods remain at the heart of daily production. Specialist classes dig deeper into individual Scottish classics. The Traditional Scottish Oatcake Baking Experience focuses on mastering this ancient Scottish staple, whilst the Traditional Selkirk Bannock session covers the rich, fruit-laden bread that originated in the Scottish Borders. For those drawn to Scotland through popular culture, the Outlander Bannock Baking Experience connects historical baking with the storytelling that has brought Scottish traditions to global attention. All classes run for two hours from £95 and welcome bakers of any experience level. Learning takes place in Campbell's actual working bakery, where the techniques you master are the same ones used daily to supply local customers. The combination of historical knowledge, family expertise and authentic working environment makes these classes particularly valuable for anyone wanting to understand genuine Scottish baking traditions rather than simplified approximations.
