JB Christie bakers of Airdrie, Lanarkshire, took home the title after judges taste-tested a record number of pastry products.

More than 100 butchers and bakers submitted 500 pies, pasties, sausage rolls, bridies and savouries into the competition, now in its 14th year, which culminates with the naming of the maker of the best Scotch pie in the world.
