Champion pie shop reopens

a CHAMPION pie shop was back in business today after a devastating fire last month.

Boghall Butchers in Bathgate suffered around £100,000 worth of damage in the blaze in the early hours of January 15.

Shop owner Paul Boyle, who has won two World Scotch Pie championships, said it was “pure luck” no-one was hurt.

But Mr Boyle, who employs ten staff, was determined to open again as soon as he could.

He said: “The tradesmen have done a really good job and the staff worked round-the-clock to get things back open again.”
