Bluetooth boosts visitors at RHS
This year was the first year we used Bluetooth technology to welcome visitors to the Lockerbie Creamery stand. Everyone within 100 metres of us automatically got a message on their mobile phone inviting them to come over. Marketing Director, Hamish Renton said, "From free Cheddar tasting to cheese sculpting - what better way to invite people to come and join us than by using the latest technology? This just shows we’re bang up to date."

Dynamic new look
The Lockerbie Creamery has had a makeover. Our new blue packaging and distinctive design highlights the fact that it’s not just Cheddar but ‘Cheddar with a wee bit of bite’. We’ve kept the traditional Celtic knot we’ve always used but added a contemporary new look to help you find us at the supermarket. Don’t worry, it’s still the same great tasting cheese and butter but with new and improved packaging. Look out for it in all major supermarkets. We hope you like it.
