Uddingston, a South Lanarkshire town of around 6,300 people, is known across Scotland — and well beyond it — for one thing towering over its centre: the Tunnock's factory.
The factory on Main Street
Thomas Tunnock started the business in 1890 after buying a baker's shop in Lorne Place, and the company — still family-run — now employs around 550 people making the caramel wafers and teacakes sold in shops nationwide. The factory sits on Uddingston's Main Street, with a small tea room attached, though public tours of the factory itself stopped some years ago.
What that leaves out
Tunnock's tea room is for a pot of tea and a biscuit on the spot, not a stock-up — there's no factory shop for bulk or wholesale buying, and Uddingston doesn't have an obvious alternative for a dedicated vegan or halal-friendly sweets range either.
Why "sweets near me" in Uddingston still points to a delivery
