About this deal

Hainan Airlines started operating twice-weekly direct flights between Edinburgh and Beijing in June although Mr Cameron has been bringing Chinese tourists to the Highlands since last year and, after forging links with a travel company, will bring 12,000 visitors from China this year. Indeed, he has gained a large army of fans in Guangzhou in southern China where he signed the deal Nanhu Travel, thanks to social media and wearing a kilt. The ‘Outdoor Capital of the UK’ is close by to Fort Augustus and it will take tourists around forty-five minutes to get there. Known as Scotland’s playground, Fort William is the perfect getaway for adrenaline junkies. In this charming town near Loch Ness, you can spend the day castle-hopping and Nessie-spotting and end the day sleeping under the stars. We are so proud of this achievement which wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and talent of our incredible team! The final at Inverness Cathedral on 25th March is set to be a great day out for all the family so I’d welcome everyone to come along, get involved and see who is crowned Highland Shortbread Showdown Champion!”

The Capital of the Highlands has several tourist attractions, delicious restaurants and many exciting events happen here throughout the year. We actually didn’t set out to buy a bakery,” Mr Cameron explained. “We bought what was a farmhouse bakery in Drumnadrochit to make it a café and supply our own outlets but the homemade cakes were really popular in the area and further afield. That was in 2002 and the business mushroomed as we started supplying tourist attractions and other places.” A key factor in Cobbs' success is their use of the finest quality ingredients. They carefully select each ingredient to ensure that it meets their rigorous standards. From premium cocoa and rich butter to fresh fruits and flavorsome nuts, Cobbs believes in using only the best ingredients to create their delectable cakes.Today, the bakery supplies a vast range of outlets including CalMac ferries, and shops, cafes and restaurants across Scotland, England and Ireland via wholesalers Fife Creamery, Bidfood and Lynas Foodservice. We want to be as sustainable a business as possible in promoting the whole of the Highlands as an area of sustainability and conscious travel.” Mr Cameron’s own story is a point in case. So, too, is that of Cobbs, named after racing driver and adventurer John Cobb who died while trying to break the world water speed record on Loch Ness in 1952. This adventurer may well break a few records of his own in the world of Highlands tourism. I have property in Italy and have been going there for 40 years and its appeal never wanes. I also have strong connections with Ireland – my son lives there and I do business there – and I also love the islands of Thailand for the people, the food and the scenery.

There are two. I was made redundant when I worked for a financial services broker in the late 1980s when the recession hit. There was also a problem with the hotel I ran with my then business partner. He only had a verbal agreement with the owner, nothing in writing, and we were given 40 days to quit. I think you need the odd dunt in business though – it makes you wiser and more careful. Cobbs inherited many of its recipes from the owners of that small farmhouse bakery while others have been handed down from family and friends. From muffins and scones to traybakes and cupcakes, there’s a Cobbs cake for everyone – including a gluten-free range that is produced in a dedicated factory built in 2016. Dialogue continued then Mr Cameron travelled to Guangzhou to meet directors of the company who were already speaking to VisitBritain about bringing Chinese tourists to the UK. Inverness and Loch Ness forms part of Nanhu’s 360-Degree VisitBritain campaign which aims to bring some 40,000 visitors to the UK every year – with 40 per cent of those heading for the Highlands. Leaving Drumnadrochit, we continue along the A82 on the final leg of our road trip, as we reach Inverness. Inverness It is targeting individuals and organisations such as disabled people, job seekers, over 65s, volunteers and groups supporting vulnerable households, key workers and those in very rural locations.

The well-known Urquhart Castle is a beautiful romantic ruin that compliments the scenery around the loch perfectly. For us, it’s also about opening up new markets for the business and being innovative in the process. We make cakes so we’re right in the firing line but happy to rise to the challenge and create products that are healthier but still very much a treat.”
