T and R Skinner of Kippen has made the shortlist of the World Championship Scotch Pie Awards 2017.

After a busy judging day in Dunfermline where a panel of 50 professional judges, and some well-known faces, assessed each and every product on its appearance, quality, consistency and taste, T and R Skinner of Kippen has secured a slot on the shortlist of the 18th World Championship Scotch Pie Awards.

“100 butchers and bakers entered 500 of their best products into 11 categories this year and the competition has been fierce so T and R Skinner can be proud to have come this far” said Alan Clarke, chief executive of Scottish Bakers which manages the competition.

"The World Championship Scotch Pie Awards is the only competition of its kind recognising excellence in the preparation of a perfect pie. The competition is now a regular fixture on the calendar as butchers and bakers throughout the land vie for pie supremacy and the boost to their business that always comes with such a sought after title."
