We love Walkers shortbread - not surprising, it being so loaded with butter. Well, they do use only flour, butter, salt and sugar to make their delicious cookies, so it tastes much better than others made with a load of other ingredients.
We were therefore very excited when we randomly came upon this shop during our stay in Elgin. Turns out the factory is nearby, so this is an outlet. We found the varieties we are used to seeing, such as the regular one and the ones shaped like a terrier, but also a lot of varieties we haven't seen before, like ginger flavored one.
But one thing you MUST buy when you are there. They have a delicious fruit cake made with Glenfiddich 12 year whisky. It's rich and moist with a hint of booze. Get the big one as the small one tastes a bit dryer.
They have a section where they sell some of the less-than-perfect products without the packaging. You get a big bag of shortbread at an awesome. The fruit cake is an even better bargain, and without the tin can, is a lot more travel friendly. read more
