AN ALLOA butchers' delicious kebabs helped earn a trio of accolades for the business.
The High Street's James Aitken Butchers was recognised at the Scottish Craft Butchers Awards.
The Indian Lamb Kebabs and the Chicken Kebabs in Argentinian Sauce were awarded with gold, while the Haggis, Neeps and Tatties Tray won silver.
Presented at the recent Scottish Mean Trade Fair 2017 in Perth, the awards scheme recognised and rewarded the best barbecue products, ready meals and ready-to-cook treats currently available in Scotland's butchers shops.
Douglas Scott, chief executive of Scottish Craft Butchers, said: “It is important for us to encourage our local butchers to produce quality new and innovative offerings to interest customers during summer barbecue season and those who find time they have limited time to prepare meals.
“This type of product is proving increasingly popular and discerning customers will always look to their local butcher for first choice.
“Scottish butchers like James Aitken in Alloa are leading the way with some of the best products in Scotland – using fresh ingredients - and we’re delighted they’ve achieved such high recognition from their industry.
“These awards show customers just what a high standard their local butcher sets.”
