Our Origins
The Trust was created by the Incorporation of Bakers [or Baxters] of the City of Edinburgh, one of the City Trades originating in medieval times. The Incorporation still exists and promotes good, independent baking in Edinburgh. The Trust, a separate body and a Scottish charity, was formed in 2017 to act as a grant making fund.
