TUNNOCK'S
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.
