Scotmid is bringing a unique Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream, made from Buffalo milk, to stores across Edinburgh and Lothians, notching up another first for the Scottish convenience retailer.
The local community can now purchase the product in store which, until now, has only been available from The Buffalo Farm in Fife.
Founded in 2005, The Buffalo Farm is the third of five Scottish businesses to win the Scotmid Scottish Favourites competition, which is giving the ice cream prominent shelf space in selected Scotmid stores. The competition was launched by the retailer to champion local producers and further demonstrates its commitment to Scottish sourcing.
The promotional listing will run for three weeks and will be available in 13 stores in Edinburgh and Lothians.
Steven Mitchell, Founder of The Buffalo Farm, spoke about what winning the competition means to the business:
How does it feel to be a winner of the Scotmid Scottish Favourites competition?
We are so excited to be able to see our Buffalo ice cream featured in Scotmid stores across the country and it’s great to be recognised by such a prominent retailer in Scotland.
What does it mean for you as a business to have secured this listing?
We are first and foremost farmers and aim to produce the finest produce we can from our land here in Kirkcaldy – with our team, farmland, countryside and animals at the very heart of our business. This listing will provide us with the perfect opportunity to reach new customers who value incredible local produce just like we do.
What are you hoping will be the outcome of bringing your product to a new audience? What is special about buffalo milk?
With our Buffalo Ice Cream, produced from milk from our own herd, we believe customers will buy into the brand concept and then be amazed at just how good the product is. We know Scotmid will get a real sense of pride from championing an exciting new Scottish product that their customers will appreciate.
It’s not your average ice-cream. How and why did the product come about?
Milk has several unique properties, and we were looking for another way to add value to the product range. With a slightly higher fat content than regular cow’s milk, it is the perfect core ingredient to make our luxuriously rich ice cream. Raspberry Ripple was the obvious choice, as one of the nations’ favourite traditional ice cream flavours.
How and where do you make Raspberry Ripple Buffalo ice-cream? ‘
Our buffalo milk produces a richer, creamier flavour and texture over traditional ice cream. Our Raspberry Ripple Buffalo ice-cream is made in our dairy factory in the heart of Fife. We are growing our production on a weekly basis, which is driven by the volume our buffalo can produce. We offer a real field to fork (or spoon!) solution, with an incredibly short supply chain, from our farm in Fife to Scotmid stores.
Describe Raspberry Ripple Buffalo ice-cream in 3 words?
Scottish, smooth and flavourful
We know that Scotmid is committed to supporting the local community and local businesses, how do you support the local community?
We have an extremely loyal team of 80 employees who live in the local area, and we are very focused on supporting our local community. Over the years, we have supported numerous community initiatives with fundraising collaborations with schools, clubs and sports teams.
We have also tried innovative fundraisers, such as where groups would receive part of our profits when their supporters used a specific Coupon Code through our website. The more people they encouraged to buy, the more money they raised.
More recently, we are delighted to have chosen Hearts and Minds as our nominated charity for the next six months, a Scottish based charity that uses clowning to help children in hospital, people with dementia, and those with additional support needs. We are planning a number of fundraising initiatives to support their cause.
What is next for The Buffalo Farm?
We are very much at the start of our journey with The Buffalo Farm. However, it has the potential to become the next major brand in Scottish Food and Drink. We would love nothing more than to have Scotmid with us on our journey.
Jessica Van Tromp, local sourcing manager at Scotmid, said: “We’re so excited to be able to stock such an innovative and delicious product in our stores across Edinburgh and Lothians.
“It’s great to be able to support The Buffalo Farm, expanding its presence from Fife to key regions in Scotland.”
Scotland’s biggest and best display of food, farming & rural life celebrates 200 years
The Royal Highland Show is set to return this year, with the first full Show since 2019 taking place at Ingliston from Thursday 23rd – Sunday 26th June.
2022 is a significant milestone in the Royal Highland Show’s history. With celebrations planned to mark the 200th anniversary since the very first Show was held way back in 1822, this year Scotland’s biggest and best outdoor event is truly back with a bang!
The four-day event provides a unique opportunity for visitors to get up close to prize livestock, taste an amazing array of premium food & drink, and experience rural life at its most vibrant.
With a big wheel, newly redesigned food & drink hall, Scotland’s Larder, a bustling Countryside Area, tons of activities for the kids, huge exhibits of machinery, exciting displays of farriery & forestry and shopping opportunities aplenty – there’s something for everyone!
Changes for 2022
In a change for this year, all tickets, including car parking, must be booked in advance with no tickets available on the gate. As always, kids aged 15 and under go free when accompanied by a paying adult (free tickets must also be booked in advance).
This is to allow the effective management of numbers on each day, ensuring the safety of visitors and staff. The benefit of purchasing in advance will ensure visitors can secure their spot for their preferred day as it is expected that the Show will sell out due to pent-up demand.
The sights and sounds of the bustling show rings will be a welcome experience for competitors and visitors alike this year – with many having not witnessed them for three years.
This year, two new sheep classes for Valais Blacknose and Dutch Spotted will feature – widely acknowledged as one of the cutest sheep in the world, the Valais Blacknose are famed for their curly coats and spiralling horns.
Two new equestrian classes will also make an appearance – Maxi Cob of the Year Championship and Mountain & Moorland Junior 122cm Working Hunter Pony of the Year. This is in addition to a number of classes being upgraded to Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) qualifier status, which will add an extra element of excitement to the show rings!
To celebrate the Show’s bicentenary, a range of special commemorative rosettes, prize cards, sashes and medals will be awarded this year – including medals with gold finishing, a change from the usual bronze version awarded in other years. The magnificent Fletcher McDiarmid Trophy, an incredibly ornate and historic award, will also return this year to be presented to the Overall Beef Champion.
Entertainment like never before
2022 will see an exciting addition to the Showground – a big wheel be taking centre stage for visitors to marvel at the view of the Show from above! The ‘Ingliston Eye’ as it’s being called will be located in the Lifestyle Village and offer a bird’s eye view of all the action.
And as if the Royal Highland Show wasn’t enough to entertain – The Big Top is coming to Ingliston and visitors this year will have the chance to extend their stay to attend an evening concert.
The concerts will take place outwith the main showground on the west side, well away from all areas where livestock and horses are stabled, penned or stalled.
Of course, there will also be the usual entertainment offerings across the Royal Highland Show itself – expect everything from pipe bands and ceilidhs to choirs and pop music!
RHS TV & app
The Royal Highland Show will take to the small screen to livestream this year’s 200th anniversary event across the globe.
In what has been described as a ‘game changer’ for the Royal Highland Show, organisers have successfully secured £200,000 of funding from the Scottish Government to drive this ground-breaking initiative.
The free-to-view RHS TV will see a dynamic mix of live and pre-recorded content broadcast throughout the four days, featuring the perfect balance of livestock judging, equestrian classes, culture, interviews, food & drink and of course, the grand parade.
Not only beamed across the globe, RHS TV will also be transmitted across the showground on giant screens throughout the four days. The content captured will be available to watch back on the Royal Highland Show YouTube channel.
In another move taking the Show experience digital, this year will also see the launch of the Royal Highland Show app, which will enhance the experience for showgoers – more details on this will be revealed in the run up to the event.
These innovative additions to the Royal Highland Show ensure that not only Show exhibitors and competitors, but Scotland at large is put on the map as the Show experience is broadcast to an international audience.
Showcasing Scotland’s food & drink
This year sees some exciting developments for food and drink at the Show.
The food hall experience has been completely re-designed – ‘Scotland’s Larder’ as it’s now known, will offer an unrivalled showcase for the very best produce from Scotland and around the UK.
There is a focus on Scottish produce of course, with over 75% of exhibitors in Scotland’s Larder based in Scotland.
Tying in with the Highland & Islands Presidential Team initiative, there will be a Bothy placed in the centre of the hall. This will house a café hosted by the team at Mimi’s Bakehouse, serving delicious cakes and coffees.
This new area has been designed to completely enhance the food and drink experience at the Show, with congestion eased and more opportunities to stop and savour the variety of tastes on offer.
And with the Scottish Championships taking place, expect to see lovely loaves, beautiful butter, and heavenly honey on display, with well-known names and artisanal producers alike competing for the most prestigious produce awards in Scotland.
Winners of the 2021 Scottish Championships for Dairy, Bread and Honey products will be celebrated at the Show in the Champions Corner, providing a lunch menu using Championship ingredients. Winners from this year’s Scottish Championships will also be announced and celebrated!
Brand-new Kids Zone
Another exciting new feature for 2022 is the introduction of a dedicated Kids Zone in the Countryside Area.
This interactive experience is sure to delight kids and parents alike and will feature activities like a nature trail, featuring outdoor play equipment and John Deere mini tractors!
Children will be able to take part in activities and find out more about the history of the Royal Highland Show in a fun, interactive way.
This is in addition to the ever-popular Discovery Centre, run by the Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) and designed to help curious young minds learn more about the countryside and where their food comes from!
To help celebrate the 200th show this year, RHET is producing the ‘Great Big A-Z of Food and Farming’ story.
A page a day will be released throughout June, with the whole digital book being released on the 26th of June. This story will cover a wide range of topics in a user-friendly way and be linked to various activities to get involved with.
RHET will also be offering digital engagement via its Showtime Discovery Trail. The trail will take young visitors around several points on the showground to learn more about food and farming.
The RHET Discovery Centre will also host a grand finale for the charity’s ‘Year of Beef’ project, creating several interactive experiences for families and school pupils around beef farming.
Getting there
As usual, there is a comprehensive travel plan in place to ensure visitors can get to and from the Show as efficiently as possible.
Hopping on public transport remains the easiest and most sustainable option for getting to the Showground. Travel by tram or get dropped off right at the gates by the bus.
If visitors do want to take the car, booking your parking tickets in advance is required – there will be no parking tickets available on the day!
Be sure to visit the Royal Highland Show website to view the full public transport travel plan.
RHASS Chairman Bill Gray commented: “To be able to celebrate the 200th anniversary of that first Show is really special – not just for us as directors, staff and members of the Society but also for the wider communities that have missed the opportunity to get out and about and meet one other.
“The absolute highlight of this year’s Show will be the chance to show off our new pavilion to our members and guests. It is a wonderful building and fitting to be at the heart of our showground at Ingliston. Let’s meet there, celebrate and be proud to be a part of this wonderful event.”
Supported by Royal Bank of Scotland, the Royal Highland Show will take place at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston, Edinburgh, on 23-26 June 2022.

It will be a proud moment for licensee Toby Saltonstall on Monday 23rd May (7.30pm) when he will be presented with the CAMRA local branch (Edinburgh and SE Scotland) Edinburgh Pub of the Year2022 award.
Not only that, the Dreadnought has also been adjudged Overall Branch Pub of the Year 2022.
CAMRA Branch Chair Pat Hanson, who will be be handing over the two framed certificates, said: “In a few short years Toby and Roisin at the Dreadnought have won numerous CAMRA awards with their top quality real ale and banter and it’s now fitting that they should add the coveted Overall Branch Pub of the Year award to their collection.”
In a Facebook post, the popular North Fort Street pub announced: “The Dread is CAMRA Edinburgh Pub of the Year for the fourth consecutive time. There was no winner in 2021 but we can call it five years straight, right? Not too shabby for a single-room battlecruiser out in the sticks.
“This one is for the team, who have been nothing short of sensational over the past two years.”
The multi-award winning Dreadnought is branching out. They have just bought The Wee Leith Shop – the Dread Shed cometh!
St James Quarter has let 30,000 sq ft of space to TOCA Social, the world’s first interactive football and dining experience, combining immersive football-based gaming with modern Americana-inspired cuisine.
The new brand launched its first venue at The O2 in London last year (above), boasting three bars, selfie booths, arcade machines and a Willy Wonka inspired dessert room, and has since announced expansion into Birmingham and even Dallas in the US.
TOCA was founded by Eddie Lewis, a two-time U.S. World Cup and former MLS and English Championship midfielder who developed the TOCA Touch Trainer, a ball machine that is the centre of all TOCA experiences.
The latest signing at St James Quarter will further cement the lifestyle district’s position as a new entertainment, culture and fashion hub that merges seamlessly with the city’s cultural offering and events calendar. Blending the ancient spirit of the city with the dynamic and cosmopolitan soul of the new, it will be yet another reason to visit Edinburgh.
TOCA Social will add 22 boxes and 2 bars in Edinburgh, while supplementing the other nine event spaces at St James Quarter that will host an array of fashion and music events.
Ed Corrigan at St James Quarter,commented: “TOCA Social has been something of a phenomenon since launching last year, their venues and the interactive experiences they offer have proved immensely popular.
“We expect them to be a key fixture for social activities both for local residents and visitors to Edinburgh.”
Alex Harman, President at TOCA Social, added: “We are delighted to launch our next TOCA Social venue in Edinburgh. St James’s Quarter is an amazing addition to the city centre and is the perfect home for our first venue in Scotland.
“TOCA Social gets everyone up and playing – whether competitively or just for fun, alongside world class food and drinks. It’s been a huge hit since we launched at London’s The O2, and we can’t wait to bring it to Edinburgh next year!”
This week Masterchef winner and acclaimed Scottish chef, Gary Maclean, made an outstanding claim that ‘masterpiece’ Mortons rolls were deserving of more than just a classic lorne sausage, and Aldi Scotland agrees.
Adding to the debate, the leading value supermarket has lined up three of its top selling products it thinks are worthy of Scotland’s favourite crispy roll.
Smokey, succulent and sweet, this Macaulay’s Ham Hough falls off the bone, creating a filling worthy of Scotland’s top chef. The producer is one of 90 Scottish suppliers working with Aldi to bring the best of Scotland’s larder to it’s customers.
Even better, its big enough to feed 4, meaning the whole family can enjoy.
Aldi Smoked Salmon slices which come in a punchy, yet light mustard and dill dressing, are the perfect posh bite for those looking for some ‘roll reversal’.
For just £1.99, it will add a layer of luxury to your lunch for no more than the cost of a roll at your local van.
This May, Martin Miller’s Gin, the world’s most awarded gin brand, proudly partners with leading UK-wide venues and local beekeepers, in a week-long national celebration supporting the UN’s World Bee Day 2022.
Martin Miller’s Gin is partnering with Bermondsey Street Bees, Manchester & District Beekeeper’s Association (MDBKA) and Edinburgh Honey Co. with the mission to raise awareness across the country of the importance of bee pollinators, particularly in the urban environment.
Key venues including Duchess of Dalston, Callooh Callay Chelsea and Gold in London, Atlas Bar, Pen & Pencil in Manchester and Pear Tree, The Raging Bull and OohMami, Edinburgh will partake in this extended initiative – World Bee Week, 16-23 May 2022.
The week-long celebration by Martin Miller’s Gin will see each partner venue list the Bee’s Knees Cocktail, made with Martin Miller’s SUMMERFUL Gin. Every serve will be accompanied with an information leaflet and complimentary thyme seeds for customers to plant at home and encourage their own thriving bee community. Known to attract all variety of bees, the thyme seeds also provide a much-needed reminder of the importance of planting, and the role that this plays in allowing bees to thrive within an urban environment.
The Bee’s Knees
The Bee’s Knees is a classic, refreshing summer cocktail, composed of gin, honey and lemon. A gin cocktail with a twist, the Bee’s Knees is made with Martin Miller’s SUMMERFUL Gin – a fresh variant from the brand which includes notes of rosemary and thyme, perfectly paired with artisanal raw honey from Bermondsey Street Bees. The result is a crisp, complex serve offering a herbaceous and citrus finish, underpinned with cherry-forward notes further heightened by the honey.
Florencia Orlando, Brand Manager, Martin Miller’s Gin comments: “We had an incredible response to this campaign last year and we’re thrilled to be taking this initiative around the country, for longer!
“The humble botanical – thyme – is the magic ingredient for both our SUMMERFUL gin and in the mission to save our bees. We’re delighted reignite our partnership with Bermondsey Street Bees who front the campaign from London.
“They could not be more aligned with Martin Miller’s Gin in both its quest for high quality and perfection but also their sustainability values. Incorporating Bermondsey Street Bees honey within our SUMMERFUL cocktail is a harmonious match and we are looking forward to everyone sampling the serve this May.”
Sarah Wyndham-Lewis, Co-Founder, Bermondsey Street Bees comments: “It has never been more important to support the urban honeybees and their wild bee cousins, and we are delighted to be partnering with Martin Millers’ Gin and their “World Bee Week” offering to do so.
“We hope through this partnership Londoners will learn more about these pollinators and indeed will be encouraged to plant bee friendly seeds. Simply to survive, a single honeybee hive requires around 50kg of pollen and 250 kg of nectar every year, and this is prior to any surplus honey becoming available for humans to harvest.
They also need to share this City’s forage resources with the bumblebees, the solitary bee species and other vital pollinators, so the more green-fingered Londoners, the better!”
World Bee Day
This year, The United Nations has selected 20 May 2022 as World Bee Day. Created to draw attention to the importance of pollinators and sustainable means to support their development, while combatting the threats the face, World Bee Day aims to educate the public on the importance of bees and the key role pollinators play in both food supply and biodiversity.
World Bee Week
The extended week-long celebration by Martin Miller’s Gin spotlights the importance bees play within our everyday lives, and how vital it is to take action to protecting this species.
Of the 25,000 species of bees on Earth, only seven are honeybee species, which are the most efficient and successful pollinators, key to the subsistence of the planet’s ecosystems.
In addition to receiving a packet of thyme seeds with each Bee’s Knees serve, guests will also be provided with information on key bee conservation charities to donate to, including British Beekeepers Society and the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.

The North Edinburgh community came out in force yesterday to enjoy the North Edinburgh Community Festival at West Pilton Park.
More than fifty local organisations contributed to a memorable day of music, food, arts and crafts, entertainment and information.
Local activist Willie Black, who chairs the Festival organising committee, said the hard work involved in staging the event had proved worthwhile.
“Covid has meant that it’s been a long time since our community has been able to have a party so it was great to see local folk coming out in huge numbers to enjoy themselves.
“Today has been a celebration of everything that makes North Edinburgh special and I’d like to thank each and very individual and organisation who contributed so much to making the festival such a huge success.”
