The opening date and location of a new Edinburgh artisan bakery has been confirmed.

Last week, we reported how staff at Kilted Donut teased a new Leith bakery, making it their third Edinburgh store and adding to locations in the Grassmarket and Morningside.

Now, followers of the bakery on Instagram were informed Kilted Donut three will be opening on Leith Walk, one of the capital's busiest streets, on October 1.

Work is currently underway behind the scenes to prepare the new unit with just two weeks until the big reveal. Having previously occupied a spot on Leith's Great Junction Street, the bakery's sweet treats have been missed by locals ever since they closed down in 2022.

The team have also had pop-up success at the city's St James Quarter and are known for their handmade artisan treats with adventurous fillings which are often rotated.

Taking to Instagram last week bosses at Kilted Donut posted a picture of a shop wall and tools with the caption: "The Leith Store is cooking, the bun is in the oven, the donut is in the fryer!!!

"You get what we’re trying to say here… Kilted Donut Leith - Coming Soon."
