There’s a taste of nostalgia coming to new homes across Aberdeen, as premium housebuilder David Wilson Homes Scotland teams up with Kerr’s Family Dairy to reintroduce traditional doorstep milk deliveries – complete with glass bottles and a sustainable twist.
As part of a new initiative rolling out in 2026, residents moving into selected developments including DWH @ Otter Stone Manor in Dyce, DWH @ Countesswells and The Woodlands Collection at Countesswells will be offered complimentary weekly deliveries of locally sourced milk for an entire year. Each household can enjoy up to four pints a week, choosing from whole, semi-skimmed, oat or soya.
The partnership celebrates both sustainability and local enterprise, tapping into the growing appetite for eco-friendly shopping habits and food provenance. According to Scotland Food & Drink, 80% of Scottish households now seek out locally produced items – a clear reflection of the nation’s pride in its homegrown food and drink.
David Palmer, Managing Director for Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Scotland, said the initiative aims to create stronger community connections while backing local producers.
“We want to build communities where residents feel part of something – not just connected to their homes, but to the people and businesses around them,” he said. “Bringing back a much-loved tradition like doorstep deliveries, reimagined for today’s sustainable lifestyles, helps us do exactly that. Fresh local milk straight to the door is both a convenience and a way to support Scottish producers.”

For Kerr’s Family Dairy, a family-run business with a long history of serving the North East, the partnership marks a perfect match between tradition and modern living.
“We’ve been delivering milk across the region for generations, so this partnership is a natural fit,” said Kelvin Kerr, Director at Kerr’s Family Dairy. “It’s great to see traditional deliveries taking on new meaning in a more sustainable, community-minded way.”
By swapping plastic for glass and localising supply chains, the project offers a refreshing reminder that small, everyday choices – like the morning bottle on the doorstep – can make a big difference.
