Aberdeen's population reached around 231,780 in 2024, the 8th largest of Scotland's 32 council areas.
Humbug, and a confectionery legacy that started here
Humbug is a family-run confectionery shop that has traded from 181 Rosemount in Aberdeen since 2012, stocking a mix of independent and classic sweet brands. Aberdeen's connection to Scottish confectionery runs deeper still: Dee Valley Confectioners, known for hard boiled sweets and rock, started life in the city in 1965, though the business has been based in nearby Ballater, Aberdeenshire for the past 40 years — famous enough locally that Kylie Minogue reportedly dropped in for boiled fruit sweets and soor plooms in 2016.
Still an independent shop, not a wholesaler
A well-loved neighbourhood sweet shop is set up for a local popping in for a bag, not a business ordering trade cases or an event needing a vegan-specific or halal-friendly range sorted in bulk.
Why that still means ordering online for volume
For anything beyond shop quantities, ordering online and having it delivered works exactly the same in Aberdeen as anywhere else in the UK — no separate process or extra cost, just standard delivery.
