About Us

In 1989 Anthony & his wife Fiona decided to make the most of the Laing family's generations of baking experience by buying an existing one-woman business based in Scotland's historic capital city of Edinburgh. 

They then set about making the business their own and what better way to do that than to make it a real family affair? And so as soon as they were able to stand upright and put biscuits in a box, all three Laing children were kitted out in oversized white overalls to join their parents in the bakery. 

Testimonials

“I'd given little thought to shortbread in its every form, shrugging it off as just another oversweet biscuit. But then I tried Shortbread House. And dear God, I'm converted for life. Rich, deeply buttery and wonderfully crumbly, they've won endless Great Taste awards. Handmade in the old-fashioned way too. Simply magnificent.”
“What a joy to eat proper shortbread. Well done. Keep baking! Just had to let you know you are doing it right!”
“I would like to congratulate you on your superb biscuits. They really are the finest I have ever purchased. We were amazed at how good they were. The quality is fantastic, the taste is simply heaven and the value is first class.”
