I found that Valvona & Crolla in Edinburgh still have them but they are
becoming thin on he ground. The normally knowledgeable staff at V&C
reckoned that...
(a) They are concentrating on the US market where they have been most
successful. The non-tartan and shortbread image meant they didn't see
that well in the UK.
and...
(b) He reckoned they are are only Jon and Mark now, Robbo having
apparently left or been forced out.
Anyway I have a rich spicy one set aside for the evening.
