Read moreThe first patisserie was opened in 1890 by Thomas Tunnock. In 1912, he added a tearoom. On his death, his son Archie opened a new patisserie in his honor in 1921. It wasn't until 1952 that he created his famous "Caramel Wafers", the brand's signature. In the 1950s, he created new products that are now legendary, such as the meringue-based "Snowball", the "Caramel Log" and the "Teacake". The patisserie was taken over in 1981 by his son Boyd. His products are exported all over the world.
WALKERS SHORTBREAD FACTORY SHOP
Read moreThe history of Walkers cookies begins in 1898. Joseph Walker was 21 years old. He opened his bakery with one ambition: to make the best shortbreads in the world. More than a century later, the company is Britain's largest exporter of biscuits and sells in 60 countries. It is the grandchildren and great-grandchildren who run the company. Although the biscuits are available everywhere, it is still a pleasure to buy them where they are produced.
