David Hall built an empire that supplies Scotland s butchers counters to this day
You may not know the name David R Hall, but if you’re a lover of the Great Scottish Breakfast, you have a lot to thank him for. He was the managing director of the family firm Hall’s of Broxburn, which supplied sausages, black pudding and lots, lots more to Scotland’s butchers for generations.
After leaving Daniel Stewart’s College in Edinburgh at 16 years of age in 1948, David took up a butchery apprenticeship at his father’s shop in the city’s Corstorphine district.
