Scottish Bakers president Craig McPhie, explained: “Sweet or savoury, hot or cold, veggie or meat-packed? Butchers and bakers up and down the land have been pushing the boundaries of pie perfection for a long time but this year we wanted to see how the public like to enjoy their pies.

“For the first time ever, we are asking pie lovers around the world to show exactly how they like to enjoy their pie by sharing their pie pics! Simply follow @ScotchPieAwards on Facebook and Twitter and post your pic.”
