They have been working flat out to produce a staggering 25,000 haggis to supply Tesco supermarkets across the border.

Gordon Allan, a director of the family run firm, said: "It's been hectic but we got there in the end. We've done a lot of business with Tesco in Scotland over the years but this is the first time we're sending haggis to their stores all over Britain. Over a five-day period, our 120 staff worked nightshifts to fill the order."

Things continue to look up for one of Falkirk's longest-established businesses.

Over the festive period it produced enough steak pie to feed 250,000 hungry Scots.
