Lannan Bakery

Lannan Bakery, nestled in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge neighbourhood, is the creation of self-taught baker Darcie Maher. Growing up in the Scottish Borders, Maher developed a deep love for baking that led her through some of the UK's most respected kitchens. In July 2023, she opened Lannan—named after the Scottish Gaelic word for "house"—as a warm, inviting space for pastries and creativity. The bakery’s menu features an ever-evolving range of viennoiserie, cardamom buns, custard slices, and seasonal delights, each made with careful craftsmanship. Lannan quickly earned recognition, winning 'Pastry Opening of the Year' at La Liste’s 2024 World Pastry Awards. Inside, Lannan’s cosy interiors—decked with timber panelling and glowing brass accents—reflect the care that goes into every bake. Maher’s vision was to create not just a bakery, but a space that feels lived-in and loved. Her journey from a Borders childhood to owning one of the world’s most talked-about bakeries is a testament to dedication and quiet excellence. Lannan is more than a bakery—it’s a home for her passion, and for anyone who loves beautifully made food.
