A SCOTTISH bakery has won a prestigious award for the world’s best newcomer.

La Liste's Pastry Awards 2024 recognised 25 patisseries and bakeries within 10 special categories, from most creative chef to discovery gem.

Lannan Bakery, which is in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge area, was one of the winners of the Pastry Opening of the Year Award. The shop’s signature bakes include a Lannan apple pie and custard and a rhubarb, custard and almond cake.

Owner Darcie Maher told The Scotsman: “Having been open from less than a year, it’s an honour to receive the award from La Liste for best pastry opening of the year.

“My life long dream has been to own my own bakery and Lannan has surpassed anything I imagined it would be.

“To have the recognition cements all the relentless hard work that’s gone into every aspect of the bakery up until this point.”
