From New Orleans to Leith, one couples dream of a doughy future

Markets

In the beginning ...

The idea for Kilted Donut was created while we were on honeymoon in New Orleans.

 

We found a great donut shop that we ended up visiting every morning.  It planted a seed, we thought this type of donut shop was something different that could fit in Edinburgh.

After our trip we spent the next year working on our dough recipe and testing it on friends and family.  We decided to start slow, so while we kept working full time jobs we began operate stalls at local markets, such as Leith Market, Pitt Street Market, and Balerno Market.

From our small start in Leith we have grown and contracted a little.  We now have an off-sight bakery and tthree shops in Grassmarket, Morningside and Leith.  And we now have a team of 24 wokring with us to make our donuts.

We are so thankful for all the support we have received from friends, family and our amazing customers.
