Traditional Scottish Black Bun fruit cake wrapped in pastry, a Hogmanay favourite

Scotland’s Favourite Bakery Classics – Available Online at Rowies.scot

When it comes to authentic Scottish baking, few countries can match the depth of tradition and flavour that Scotland offers. At Rowies.scot, we specialise in bringing together Scotland’s best-loved bakery products, making them available to order online with delivery across the UK. From the flaky Aberdeen Buttery (Rowie) to the rich Black Bun, the royal-favourite Selkirk Bannock, the nostalgic Mothers Pride Scottish Plain Medium Cut Bread, and the timeless Traditional Clootie Dumpling, our shop celebrates the very best of Scotland’s bakery heritage.

Aberdeen Butteries (Rowies) – Scotland’s Flaky Classic

No discussion of Scottish baking is complete without the Aberdeen Buttery (Rowie). Flaky, salty, and indulgent, this North East classic remains one of Scotland’s most iconic bakery items. Originally created for fishermen heading out to sea, packed with fat and salt to last long voyages, Rowies have stood the test of time,

Today, they are enjoyed toasted with butter, spread with jam, or eaten straight from the packet. Perfect for breakfast or a quick snack, they are truly unique in taste and texture. At Rowies.scot, you can order authentic Aberdeen Butteries online with UK delivery, fresh from Scotland.

Black Bun – Scotland’s Hogmanay Tradition

The Black Bun is one of Scotland’s most distinctive festive foods. Unlike other fruit cakes, it is dense, spiced, and wrapped in pastry, making it rich in both flavour and symbolism,

Traditionally eaten at Hogmanay as part of “first-footing,” the Black Bun symbolises prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead. Today, it remains a seasonal favourite but is equally enjoyable throughout the year with tea or coffee. At Rowies.scot, you can buy Black Bun online and have this authentic taste of Scotland delivered to your door.

Selkirk Bannock – Fit for Royalty

The Selkirk Bannock is a famous fruit bread from the Borders town of Selkirk. Packed with sultanas and plenty of butter, it is a soft, rich, and indulgent bake.

This Bannock gained recognition after being served to Queen Victoria during a visit to Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott. Since then, it has been a symbol of Scottish baking at its finest. Whether enjoyed with butter, jam, or cheese, the Selkirk Bannock makes a perfect teatime treat. Order yours online at Rowies.scot with delivery across the UK.

Mothers Pride Scottish Plain Medium Cut Bread – Everyday Scotland

While some Scottish bakery classics are tied to celebrations, others are part of everyday life. Mothers Pride Scottish Plain Medium Cut Bread is one such staple, beloved for generations.

Known for its soft slices and darker crust, this loaf is ideal for toast, sandwiches, or simply buttered on its own. For many, it represents a slice of nostalgia, recalling school packed lunches or late-night toast. At Rowies.scot, we stock Mothers Pride Scottish Plain Bread so you can enjoy this everyday Scottish classic no matter where in the UK you live.

Traditional Clootie Dumpling – A Scottish Pudding Classic

The Traditional Clootie Dumpling is one of Scotland’s most historic and beloved puddings. Made with flour, suet, dried fruit, sugar, spices, and treacle, it is boiled in a cloth (“cloot”), giving it its name and characteristic texture.

Long associated with family gatherings, Christmas, and Hogmanay, the Clootie Dumpling is as versatile as it is delicious. Serve it warm with custard or cream, enjoy it cold the next day in slices, or even fry leftovers for a hearty breakfast. At Rowies.scot, you can order Traditional Clootie Dumpling online and have this authentic dessert delivered UK-wide.
