Boo Hoo! My childhood toffee of choice is no more!

What's this, you ask? Well, although I must confess I haven't bought or consumed their products in many years (decades even!), it seems that the makers of Highland Toffee, Millar McCowan, have gone into receivership. The firm also made 'Pan Drops', a particular favourite of my paternal grandmother (long since deceased, of course) and one of my memories of childhood summer holidays at my grandparents' was being given occasional 'sweeties' by her, particularly some of her Pan Drops. Apart from that a lot of my summer holiday 'pocket money' went on things like Fry's Turkish Delight and Cremola Foam; I spent a fair few summer evenings with a slightly queasy stomach after a day of over-indulgence. Aaahhh - innocent childhood memories!
