Mackays – Authentic Scottish Preserves & Traditional Marmalades | Real Fruit. Real Flavour. Truly Scottish.
Discover Mackays — Scotland’s most loved range of authentic preserves and traditional marmalades, crafted with care and heritage. Every jar begins in the berry fields of eastern Scotland, where the cool, temperate climate allows fruits to ripen slowly and naturally. The result? Berries bursting with sweetness, depth, and the unmistakable taste of home.
From juicy strawberries to tangy blackcurrants and rich raspberries, Mackays selects only the finest fruit and slow-cooks them in small batches to preserve their natural colour, texture, and flavour. Each jar celebrates Scottish tradition — simple, real, and made with passion.
- Mackays sources fruit from the Tayside region - famous for its world-class strawberries, raspberries, and blackcurrants, grown in the cool Scottish climate for unmatched sweetness and flavour.
- The Tayside region produces over 15,000 tonnes of raspberries every year.
- Blackcurrants are packed with antioxidants - offering over 300% of daily Vitamin C.
- The Elsanta strawberry, locally grown, is prized for its bright red hue and juicy sweetness.
- While Mackays berry preserves are proudly Scottish, the marmalades feature Seville oranges - renowned for their high pectin and tangy richness, giving every spoonful that golden citrus glow.
- Seville oranges are harvested only between January and February, making each marmalade batch seasonal and unique.
- They were once the only citrus grown in Europe - a royal favourite for centuries.
- In Mexico, Seville oranges are enjoyed fresh with salt and chilli for a spicy-sour treat!
- Mackays preserves are slow-cooked in copper pans - the traditional method that ensures even heat distribution and perfect consistency in every batch.
- Every batch is personally monitored, with each jar tasted at just the right moment - ensuring a flavour that’s authentic, rich, and truly homemade.
