About
The story
Set amid the heather-clad hills of Royal Deeside near Crathie, close to the gates of Balmoral, The Highlanders Bakehouse has become a small legend among those who venture up the valley. The kind of place where the smell of warm bread and buttery pastry drifts out to greet you, it rewards the winding drive with honest, carefully made baking and a genuinely warm Highland welcome. With a devoted following built over hundreds of visits, it feels like a proper reason to point the car west on a bright morning and linger.
