Duncan's of Deeside

Betty Duncan used handed down recipes to bake her own shortbread and oatcakes for family and friends in her kitchen in Finzean in Royal Deeside.

Demand for her products led to the establishment of the first bakery by Betty's son Len and his wife Dawn close to Finzean in the forest at the foot of the Cairn O'Mount mountain.

In 2009 the bakery moved to larger premises in Laurencekirk and the introduction of the third generation to the family firm with Len and Dawn's son Paul joining them.

The recipes have never changed and the famous 'melt in the mouth' shortbread and tasty oatcakes are enjoyed from Aberdeen to Adelaide.

Duncan's shortbread and oatcakes are found in most major supermarkets across Scotland.
