Christmas Fare

The Scottish love of sweet treats was well-established by the 1950s when the Scott-Lyon bakery firm produced this Christmas catalogue in the 1950s.

There were rich fruit cakes, mince pies, meringues and chocolates to tempt the Scottish sweet tooth.

Today our love for such treats shows no sign of disappearing.
