This winning formula was initiated by Thomas Tunnock in 1890, after he paid £80 for a shop in Uddingston. Under the guidance of Thomas (and later his son, Archie), Tunnock's operated only as bakers and purveyors of quality flour confectionery until the 1950s. This decade saw the emergence of four original speciality items: Caramel Wafers, Snowballs, Caramel Logs and Teacakes. Consequently, business boomed and factory extensions followed, the latest as recent as 2002. Progressing from local nibbles to national institutions, Tunnock's biscuit products have acquired the proud status of genuine Scottish icons.

To many, the Tunnock's name evokes  pleasant memories of their youth...that longed-for snack straight after school...that Granny treat on Sundays...and the desire not to waste a single crumb. On walks down memory lane, Scots often encounter a wafer, a snowball, a log or a teacake.It's a nostalgic taste of Scotland that not only thrills contemporary appetites, but industry judges, too. Winning Europe's prestigious Candy Kettle Award recently was proof that Tunnock's popularity is as potent as ever.

Beautiful packaging and amazing taste... Very dangerous!!! I love the design.
