Soup from Scotland means only one thing:- Baxters

25-year-old George Baxter had been working as a gardener for the Duke of Richmond and Gordon on the Gordon Castle Estate when he decided that the green-fingered life was no longer for him. He wanted to own a grocery business. Among his recipes was Soup from Scotland

After borrowing 11 guineas from family members, the doors to George’s small shop in the village of Fochabers, open for the first time. It’s there in the back shop, that his wife Margaret began making jams and jellies with fruits from the local area. And it wasn’t just the locals who lapped them up, the Duke of Fochabers made them a staple of his dinner table.
