Our Story

Established in 1830, Campbell’s Bakery is an independent family run craft bakery which moves with the times ​

In addition to traditional Scottish favourites such as scotch pies, oatcakes and shortbread, we also make a wide variety of breads and cakes inspired by different areas around the world. ​

When our founder Donald Campbell opened his small bakery in the picturesque town of Callander in 1830 he probably never thought the bakery would still be going strong over 190 years later!

Our bakery in Crieff was started in 1929 by Donald’s great grandson Bob Campbell and his wife Cathy. The newlyweds worked hard, selling everything from morning rolls to wedding cakes. Bob was one of the first people in Crieff to have a motorised vehicle which he used on his “roll round” – a twice a day delivery service to people who couldn’t make it into the shop. In the morning he went round the houses and farms with morning rolls and bread and in the afternoon he delivered fresh tea bread and scones.

Bob and Cathy’s son Jim joined his parents in the business in 1950. After Bob’s death in 1971 Jim and his mum became business partners. In 1980, Jim’s wife Alice joined the bakery and became Jim’s business partner when Cathy died in 1981.

Jim and Alice’s son Iain, the seventh generation, joined the family business in 1993. Today the family and their team work hard to maintain the high quality the bakery is known for. All the breads, biscuits, cakes and pies are made in small batches by hand on the premises using the highest quality ingredients Iain can source.
