Passengers headed to Glasgow were gifted free shortbread and a bagpipe performance.

Travellers at Heathrow Airport's Terminal Five received the "extra warm Scottish welcome" thanks to Walker's Shortbread's new festive pop-up. 

People passing through the gateway enjoyed highland tunes and samples from the family-run business.

Steve McCarney, commercial director at Walker’s Shortbread, said: “As a Scottish brand with heritage at its core, we’re proud to celebrate our roots.

"Scots are known for their hospitality and what better way to welcome those flying home or visiting for Christmas than with bagpipes and free shortbread?

“It’s double the celebration as it also ties in with Walker’s exciting pop-up at Heathrow Airport, which is running throughout the festive season.

"Shortbread is such a special part of Christmas and Hogmanay, and we can’t wait to share the joy with passengers, allowing more travellers to take Walker's with them and share in this tradition all over the world.”
