Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest Share on WhatsApp Share on Email What is Christmas about but eating, drinking and being merry? I am here in part one of our two Scran episode Christmas specials to help you do all those things. But of course, Christmas is also about caring and giving so she's also been visiting a charity that is doing just that with the help of the public.
First up on this festive episode of Scran I head to Bowhouse Market in Fife - if you are looking for a festive shopping destination without any of the guilt of buying from supersize producers then this is the place for you. Luckily there is one more market happening before Christmas so this is your opportunity to hear from a small selection of the food and drink traders who will be there to help you tick off that Christmas list. First up I chatted to Susie Anderson of East Coast Cured, followed by Stuart of Barnett's Bakery in Anstruher who was joined on his stall by his daughter Jessie, then Lucy Patto Davidson from Fodder and Farm and finally, Rosie Jack who manages the market.
Every year the team at Scran like to take the time to feature a charity in Scotland who is working with those who won't be able to enjoy the Christmas they might have wished for. This year we went along to the Eva Burrows Life House project in Cambuslang which is run by the Salvation Army. There I met with Karen Good who runs the service, service users Stephen and Peter and finally staff members Yvonne Mackenzie, Paula Thomson and David Dean.
Finally, you'll hear me chatting to Fiona Grant, the founder of Glen Lyon coffee who have released a special Christmas coffee that you are going to want to get your hands on before the festivities begin. To support the work of the Salvation Army in Scotland and the wonderful team at Eva Burrows Lifehouse visit salvationarmy.org.
