Forfar has a population of around 14,000 people (2021 census), and this historic county town of Angus has given its name to a pastry sold nationwide — alongside a much darker chapter in its past.
The bridie, and the Forfar witch trials
The Forfar bridie — a folded, crimped meat pastry sold in the town since at least the 19th century — is now found in bakeries and shops across Scotland. Forfar's history has a darker side too: through the 17th century the town, as the county seat of Angus, was the site of a series of witch trials, with dozens of local people accused and a number executed, a period now marked by a memorial in the town.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Forfar shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent than relying on what's on a local shelf — many Forfar shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Dundee for a wider selection.
