Our story

A coffee inspired by 44 Scotland Street

Alexander McCall Smith's 44 Scotland Street began life in 2004 as a daily serial in The Scotsman newspaper, and has since grown into a much-loved series of novels.

  • The setting

    Set among the elegant Georgian streets of Edinburgh's New Town, the books follow the gently comic lives of the residents of a single tenement, and the friends they meet along the way, not least at Big Lou's coffee bar. Coffee, conversation and kindness are never far from the page.

  • The coffee

    Scotland Street Coffee carries the branding of the novels, and it's made for the same unhurried pleasures: a good book, a comfortable chair and a cup worth savouring.

  • Coffee in Malawi

    There's a deeper connection, too. Coffee is said to have been first introduced to Malawi in the 1870s by Dr John Buchanan, using a plant from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

  • Giving back

    Today, our Malawi Arabica comes full circle back to Edinburgh, and a donation from every bag supports the Mamie Martin Fund, a Scottish charity dedicated to helping girls in Malawi access secondary education.
