Shopping in Central Scotland

  1. James McLaren & Son

    Forfar, the county town of Angus, is the home of Scotland’s answer to the Cornish pasty: the famous Forfar bridie. A shortcrust pastry turnover filled with cooked minced beef, onion and gravy, it was invented in Forfar in the early 19th century. If you fancy trying one, head for James McLaren & Son, a family bakery bang in the centre of Forfar, which has been selling tasty, home-baked bridies since 1893.

  2. Green Welly Stop

    The Green Welly Stop is a shrine to tourism. This little shopping complex has a very good (if slightly pricey) outdoor store, ideal if you’re looking for supplies before you grapple with your Munro. It’s also a good fuel stop, with hot meals served all day.
