A Century of Pie Perfection in Edinburgh

Masons Bakery in Edinburgh is celebrating a century of serving up beloved pies, having opened its doors back in 1926 and weathered economic crashes, pandemics, and industry shifts—all while staying true to its handmade, fresh-baked roots. Now run by James and Joan Love since 1995, the bakery has scaled down to just two staff members, reflecting a tougher, more competitive trade. James, who’s been there 31 years, admits the business is harder today with fewer bakers entering the field and shrinking storefronts across the city. Still, hitting 100 years is no small feat—and they’re keeping the celebration humble with just a cake, honoring a legacy that’s become a cornerstone of local history.
