SCOTTISH HONEY
To produce scottish honey the family established in 1945, Heather Hills Farm is a traditional family-run honey farm based in the Highlands of Perthshire – the heartland of Scotland. We specialise in a selection of 100% pure, raw, monofloral and polyfloral honeys and handmade preserves.
Starting off with just one hive in 1945, we now have 1300 hives across Perthshire and Deeside, producing honey from scotland – the most beautiful and unpolluted parts of the UK. This relatively small-scale ensures our hives are regularly and well spaced out in small batches by zones. This means that the bees have plenty of opportunity to roam – up to a 5 mile radius of each hive – giving a superior quality product. A bigger producer would normally cram around 100 hives into the same space – this reducing the quality of the product.
In an age of mass production and bulk processing, our scottish honey is collected and extracted using traditional methods to ensure that the enzymes, protein and natural goodness of our honey stays within it and are not destroyed during the harvesting, separating or bottling processes. This produces artisan, raw honeys of a far superior quality and distinctive flavour which retain their natural benefits. In wine terms, our award-winning Scottish Heather Honey is the Champagne of Honeys due to the geographical location of our hives, the terrain and the climate.
