Alan Clarke, chief executive of Scottish Bakers, is delighted with the support that Jim is giving to the competition.

He said: “Jim is an iconic Scottish personality and the Scotch Pie is an iconic Scottish product. We are delighted to announce that Jim will join our group of professional judges again this year to select the best pies in the land.”

In addition to Scotch pies, bakers and butchers are invited to enter their best sausage rolls, bridies, specialty savouries, Scottish football pie, apple pie or savoury.

Butchers and bakers across Scotland will have the opportunity to become recognised as producing the highest quality products around the globe with awards given to those producing the best products in each category.

The winner of the Scotch pie category will be declared as the WORLD CHAMPION.

The competition aims to highlight that bakers and butchers create high-quality artisan pastry products.

Recognising the ‘great and the good’ in this way rewards excellence and raises the bar in the industry.
