Don’t know when the very plain Abernethy Biscuits were invented but they now have home grown competition in the form of a variety of Clootie Dumplins in every shape and form – from the Billy Connelly lookalike – The Big Yin —

tae a Hielan coo —

and even Mary Queen of Scots —

to name but three —

The scones are pretty good too —

Don’t know what was in the dumplins —

but they certainly had me loupin on the way oot —
