A day in Scotland ALWAYS ends in a cuppa.
When I was young that cuppa always came with grilled cheddar cheese on toast BEFORE bed! The Ole Wives were rolling in their graves at us!!! LOL!! but it is a yummy memory that I tried to replicate state-side but failed miserably every time!
So it remains a most treasured Scottish routine! aaaahhhhh

It's spreading!!! I can't find any near me either. I'm going to have to start scoping out specialty shops. Could always try online too. Edinburough Tea Co. makes a lovely Scottish Breakfast. My daughters and I have tea every Monday after school. I have resorted to the dreaded bags, bleah!!
