About

Dean’s of Huntly is a family‑owned Scottish shortbread shop and bistro nestled in Huntly, Aberdeenshire. Since its humble beginnings in 1975 when Helen Dean baked shortbread in her kitchen, the business has expanded into a purpose‑built factory while retaining its artisanal, melt‑in‑the‑mouth tradition. Today visitors can explore the Gift Shop, sample a wide range of shortbread and savory cheese bites, and savour a fresh meal in the bistro. The shop and dining area are both free to enter, providing a relaxed atmosphere where guests can watch the production line through viewing windows and learn about the baking process. Open every day from 10 am to 4 pm, Dean’s offers a quintessential Scottish culinary experience that appeals to families, food enthusiasts, and shop‑savvy travellers alike.
