A SCOTTISH crisp brand has landed a major deal with a supermarket giant.
Taylors Snacks – formerly known as Mackie’s Crisps – are now available in all Aldi stores across the UK, marking the Scottish snack brand’s first supermarket listing outside of Scotland.
Made at the fourth-generation Taylor family farm in Errol, Perthshire, nearly 220,000 packets of crisps will be sent to Aldi stores across the UK, with an expectation of more listings in the future.

Aldi will stock four of the most popular flavours: Straight Cut Mature Cheddar & Onion and Pickled Onion, and Lightly Sea Salted and Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar Ridge cut flavours, retailing at £1.25 per pack.
James Taylor (below), managing director of Taylors Snacks, said: “We are confident that Taylors will be as well received around the rest of the UK as our snacks have been in Scotland, and look forward to bringing our unique, thick cut crisps to even more people around the country.
“We have enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Aldi for over 14 years since our days trading as Mackie’s Crisps, and we couldn’t be more pleased to partner with them in our first foray into supermarkets outside of Scotland.
“We will always be proud of our Scottish roots and will remain based in Perthshire as our company grows, bringing more jobs to the area. As our brand continues to evolve, we are excited to bring more and more of our ranges to a wider audience.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
