A Scottish Family Business

The story starts with Charlie and Jean Macsween, who established a retail butcher's shop in Bruntsfield, South Edinburgh, in 1953.

The business passed to their son, John, who, along with his wife Kate, focused on the production of haggis and black pudding.  Along the way they created the world's first dedicated haggis factory and the world's first vegetarian haggis.  Two of John and Kate's children, James and Jo, now run the business.  They continue to explore new avenues for Macsween products, improve the way the company operates and share best practice with other food producers.
