6 of the best traditional old school pie shops in Glasgow including Alex Ferguson's Govan favourite

These are some of the best spots to head to for a Scotch pie in Glasgow

A Scotch pie is a Glaswegian staple and nothing quite beats having one which has been freshly baked.

Glasgow takes them seriously, that much so that a speciality in the city is a 'Glasgow Oyster' which consists of a Scotch pie on a buttered morning roll.

Famous faces are also big fans of the humble pie with one shop particularly being a favourite of former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.
