SCOTLAND'S oldest bakery is up for sale after 200 years in the same family.
Alexander Taylor Bakery in Strathaven was opened in 1820. Married couple Barry and Claire Taylor became the sixth generation to run the company when they took it over 28 years ago.
Barry and Claire met at art school but returned to their roots to carry on the family’s legacy.
Now, with their children all grown up, the couple have made the decision to sell the firm.

“We've been the custodians of it for a long time.
