Our Original Recipe Shortbread is the shortbread that started it all. The recipe has been passed down through generations and is still made by hand in our Edinburgh bakery, with a pinch of ground rice giving the biscuits their light, crisp texture.

  • Handmade in Edinburgh: Our team of skilled bakers cuts each biscuit by hand; exactly the way you would do at home to ensure the very best taste and texture.
  • Beautifully presented: Seven individually hand-cut shortbread rounds packaged in a colourful tin with a striking design of Scotland's national flower -  the thistle.
  • Award-winning: Winner of 2-Star Great Taste Awards in 2024 & 2023, and 1-Star Great Taste Awards in 2025, 2022, 2021 & 2020.
