McWhirter’s Scottish Oatcakes are all natural, with just 2-5 grams of sugar per ounce, and have plenty of fiber. It’s the perfect out-the-door-in-the-morning food for kids, commuters, busy homemakers — anyone, anytime the need for a sustaining source of energy arises.

The traditional Scottish Oatcake can be traced back to Scotland in the 1300’s. Oats are hardy and one of the few grains that can withstand the harsh weather of the Scottish Highlands.

Clansmen on the move would carry a bag of oats with them, and using their shield or shovel as a skillet, cooked their mixture of ground oats and water over an open fire, making the early oatcake a staple.

Handcrafted in the Highlands of the Shenandoah, McWhirter’s Scottish Oatcakes are not quite so rustic, having a touch of sweetness and different flavors to entice. Try our Traditional Oatcakes for an interesting accompaniment to a cheese plate, or have them with jam or honey. Yum!

Hello Mary, For the second year in a row we have bought one of your Harvest Cakes at the Corner Store in Sperryville. It is one of the most beautiful looking and tasting foods that we have ever had. We love it on a cheese plate with a nice piece of sharp cheese. Having been (now retired) chef at the Maryland Governor’s Mansion for 34 years and 6 Maryland Governors I don’t just say these things randomly or lightly. You are creating culinary masterpieces and you should be very proud. We love your oatcakes too. Best of the season to you and your family. -Medford and Beth

Wanted to drop a quick line.  I have two boys (21 and 20) and a 15 year old daughter. We all loved them and were sampling the different flavors last night. My picky w/food husband even picked the cherry almond for his breakfast on the go this morning! In short.. you now have a loyal following. Hope to see you at Celtic festival as well as at the market!  –Peggy

My lovely wife of the MacKay Clan on her Scot-Irish paternal side absolutely loves them!!! They are delicious and great with coffee. Plus these tasty oatcakes don’t feel like you’re eating cardboard, unlike those protein and/or diet energy bars with the weird aftertaste that you buy in a store. Do what we did, buy a variety then decide on your favorites … you will have at least one favorite.  -Vincent

Mary, came home from the Shelter sooooo ready for my afternoon tea time. There on my porch was a box. Cherry almond oat cake and hot tea. Closed my eyes and felt like home in Kilsyth.  -Carole

I just finished the Ginger Orange. WOW. All of the oatcakes that I have tried so far are fabulous, but the ginger Orange is out of this world.  -Mike
