The Mercat has opened in Culross. Created by the team behind The Dundonald, this café and provisions store brings together homeware, baked goods and carefully chosen produce under one roof.

The summer menu, developed in collaboration with Jess Elliott Dennison, includes bakes by Emma Bevis and dishes that change with the season. Alongside that, shelves are stocked with cheese from Mellis, pasta from Northern Pasta Co., and jam from Juno Preserves.
