Hebridean baker to make appearance at Scottish Game Fair
The TV star will share stories from his travels and baking and host demonstrations
International best-selling author and BBC TV presenter Coinneach MacLeod, widely known as the Hebridean Baker, will be appearing live at Scotland’s annual game fair.
The Lewis-born TikTok sensation has won fans around the globe after sharing his culinary skills in a series of wholesome and easy-to-follow clips on social media and his TV programme, Hebridean Baker: Nordic Islands.
The culinary star will be hosting talks and demonstrations at the annual Scottish Game Fair. Almost in its fourth decade, the large outdoor event celebrates Scotland’s rural life, field sports, and country traditions.
Across the weekend, visitors will have the opportunity to see Mr MacLeod do live demonstrations and appear on the main stage telling stories from island life, his travels, and his culinary journey. He will be hosting the new Highlander’s Restaurant at the show, where the menu is inspired by his approach to Hebridean cooking and Scottish tradition.
And the Scottish star will also serve as a judge for the Bothy Band Competition, an event that supports traditional music and emerging talent at the show.
Produced by Caledonia TV, Mr MacLeod’s debut series, Hebridean Baker: Nordic Islands follows the islander on an extraordinary journey across the Nordic Isles of exploring the deep connections between food, culture and island life. Filmed across Lofoten, the Faroe Islands, Gotland and Bornholm, the series has been praised for its warmth, storytelling and celebration of community.
The influencer’s Gaelic-language cookery series has recently been nominated for the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards 2026 under best programme category.
The awards celebrate excellence across broadcasting, writing and content creation. Previous winners in the Best Programme category include Tom Kerridge: Secrets of the Pub Kitchen and The Great British Bake Off.
Mr MacLeod has previously won Scotland’s Food & Drink Influencer of the Year, while his reach extends globally through ten sell-out North American book tours.
Staged in the grounds of Scone Palace, near Perth, the Scottish Game Fair will run from July 3 to 5.
The coveted event is renowned for its expansive selection of exhibitors, seeing more than 450 artisans, independents and specialists pitch up, alongside hundreds of activities, shows and entertainment, making it an unmissable weekend and an important calendar event for the sector.
Tickets for the event can be found via the Scottish Game Fair website.
