  • About
Cool, clean-tasting, refreshingly milky, Italian ice cream is scooped onto a cone. ‘Raspberry?’ ‘Oh, yes please.’
Other topping options include a ‘99’ milk chocolate flake, ‘amaretto nibs’ and ‘hundreds and thousands’. But it’s the partnership of dripping red raspberry syrup, as ice melts, which is childhood nostalgia in a cone.

One legend has it that red raspberry syrup met cool-tasting Italian ice cream in Glasgow when a Clyde football club supporter, named McCallum, persuaded his local Italian ice-cream maker to make an ice cream in the club colours – red and white. The ‘club’ ice cream was so popular that the inspired supporter was rewarded when the new creation was named after him. Another story is linked with an ice cream parlour in Rutherglen owned by a family of McCallums.
