Winner of Scotmid Scottish Favourites
Jam Bothy Secures National Listing in 180 Scotmid Stores Following ‘Scottish Favourites’ Win
ANGUS, SCOTLAND: The Bothy Trading Family is proud to announce that its award winning Jam Bothy range has been selected as a winner in the prestigious Scotmid ‘Scottish Favourites’ competition.
The small-batch preserve maker has been named a champion in the prestigious Scotmid ‘Scottish Favourites’ competition and the partnership will see their Chilli Jam rolled out across 153 Scotmid stores from late March 2026, followed by their Strawberry Jam from May.
For founder Kim Cameron, this isn't just a huge business win, it’s validation of a decade spent championing Scottish Bothy culture. While many modern preserves use imported concentrates, Jam Bothy has remained committed to small batches, local seasonal fruit, and authentic flavors rooted in the Scottish countryside.
Kim Cameron, Founder of Jam Bothy comments, “To see our Chilli Jam go from our kitchen to 153 stores across the country is a dream come true for our team. It’s a huge opportunity to bring a real taste of the Bothy to communities nationwide.”
The ‘Scottish Favourites’ initiative is a high-profile search conducted by Scotmid Co-operative in partnership with Scotland Food & Drink. This year’s competition placed a specific emphasis on innovation, seeking products that offer a modern twist on traditional Scottish staples.
The partnership is expected to have a positive ripple effect on the local economy, supporting the brand’s commitment to sourcing seasonal ingredients from Scottish growers.
By securing a listing of this scale, Jam Bothy joins an elite group of Scottish producers who have successfully bridged the gap between artisan craft and national retail availability.
Steven Addison, Category Manager, Local Sourcing at Scotmid comments, “Local sourcing is incredibly significant to us, and we are privileged to collaborate with an exceptional variety of suppliers nationwide. We are delighted to be working with Jam Bothy. Scotland genuinely boasts some of the finest food and drink globally, and the quality of local products continues to improve each year.”
The Chilli Jam from the Jam Bothy range will be available in the 'Scottish Favourites' dedicated sections of Scotmid stores from the end of March 2026 followed by their Strawberry Jam in May, appealing to both traditional preserve lovers and a new generation of craft food enthusiasts.
