PERSPECTIVE

Why we love Hebridean Baker

We love when great stories and great flavour meet — and this collaboration has both in spades.

The Hebridean Baker brings heart, humour, and heritage to everything he does, and Stag Bakeries back it up with over a century of skill. Together, they’ve created something that celebrates Scottish tradition in the most delicious way possible.

These shortbreads are more than a biscuit — they’re a taste of Hebridean life: windswept, welcoming, and wonderfully local.

Meet the founders

At the heart of this collaboration is a simple truth: baking is about connection — to place, to people, and to tradition.

From the small-batch ovens of Stag Bakeries to the storytelling of The Hebridean Baker, each biscuit carries the essence of community and comfort. It’s island baking at its best — honest, handcrafted, and made to be shared.

The Hebridean Baker story

Bringing together a shared passion for all things Hebridean — and a baking heritage dating back to 1885 — The Hebridean Baker is the newest addition to the Stag Bakeries family. Together, they’ve created a special range of biscuits inspired by the warmth, tradition, and simplicity of island life.

The Hebridean Baker — Coinneach MacLeod — is an international best-selling author and TikTok star born and raised on the Isle of Lewis. His joyful celebration of Gaelic culture, rustic home baking, and the Hebridean Hygge lifestyle has inspired followers across the world to bake, forage, learn Gaelic, pour a dram, and dream of Scotland’s wild coastlines.

This partnership unites old and new — timeless craftsmanship with a modern voice sharing Hebridean heritage on a global stage.
