Still made in the Star Rock shop in the narrow (car-less) wynd known as The Roods in Kirriemuir, Angus. It was made originally by a stone mason who was blinded in 1833. The sticks are short and thin, slightly chewy, and with a delectable buttery flavour (the Rock Shop also makes excellent Horehound Boilings).
