My eye was drawn to the macaroon bars, scottish tablet and Edinburgh rock. Sweets that I enjoyed more than 40 years ago when I lived in the West of Scotland.

Read moreFound this little business on FB and did hesitate before placing an order (thought it may be a scam), but placed an order for a selection of my childhood favourites anyway. I was delighted when my order arrived beautifully packaged to protect my chosen sweets and I liked the individual bags so I could have a different treat depending on my mood. Each one was just as I remembered growing up and was a wonderful memory every time I put one in my mouth. Will be placing more...
