The Piemaker Edinburgh: why tourists flock here and what Americans think of a Scotch Pie

Somewhat of an Edinburgh institution, The Piemaker has been baking hundreds of pies each day for almost three decades on the city's South Bridge.

Locals will no doubt be familiar with the sights and smells as they saunter on by or pop in for a pie, with the one-of-a-kind Old Town bakery having welcomed in customers for the first time back in 1995 after it was opened up by baker Johan Venter.

Following Johan's sad passing, the shop is now run by Lukasz Luczak, but Johan's wife Fiona and daughter Kirsty are still at the shop helping out, continuing on the family link with the business.
