Tunnock's Caramel Wafer / Teacake

Tunnock's is a legendary Scottish confectionery brand founded by Thomas Tunnock in 1890 in Uddingston, South Lanarkshire. What began as a local bakery evolved into a global snack powerhouse under the leadership of Archie Tunnock and later Sir Boyd Tunnock. The brand is world-renowned for its iconic Caramel Wafers, introduced in 1952, and its Milk Chocolate Teacakes, launched in 1956, both of which feature distinctive foil wrapping and have become cultural symbols of Scotland.

To this day, Tunnock's remains a strictly family-owned business, operating out of the same village where it was founded over 130 years ago. Their products are manufactured at their specialized factory in Uddingston, maintaining high standards of quality and tradition. The company famously exports its products to over 30 countries and has resisted numerous takeover attempts by larger multinational food conglomerates, ensuring it remains an independent pillar of British manufacturing.
