Discover our collection of traditional Scottish Star Rock, handcrafted using a recipe that has been passed from owner to owner for almost 200 years. Made with care and time-honoured techniques, our Star Rock is a true artisan sweet, celebrating the heritage of Scotland's oldest sweet shop.

Since 1833, we've been proudly sharing this unique Scottish confection with visitors from around the world. Each piece is made to deliver the distinctive crisp texture and long-lasting flavour that has made Star Rock a favourite for generations.

Whether you're looking for an authentic Scottish gift, a nostalgic treat, or a taste of traditional boiled sweets, our Star Rock collection offers a genuine piece of Scottish confectionery history. Made in small batches using our historic recipe, every purchase helps keep one of Scotland's sweetest traditions alive.

The Star Rock Shop is a wee independent shop in the East of Scotland.  All products are hand packed and shipped from the shop.  As part of our recycling processes we try to reuse any packaging received in deliveries to the shop. Therefore one order may contain paper filling, another air cushions and bubble wrap. For more about our recycling principles find the link in the site footer.

It may be that the products ordered are made in the the shop and to fulfil your order a fresh batch or two is needed.  For each flavour of rock it takes 1.5 hours to boil, roll, shape then set the rock.  Due to the standing process of the tablet it takes a minimum 24 hours to make a slab. We also have over 300 jars of sweets which are picked and packed only as we receive the order. Our Scottish products and main wholesaler is also based over an hour and a half away, we normally visit on a Monday, therefore weekend orders received from Saturday morning may not be processed until Tuesday morning when we are back in the shop. Why am I telling you this - we ask that you allow 3 - 5 working days for us to process your order and pop it in the post safely packaged, although if it is more than 3 days we will be in contact with you to give an update on the delay.

We normally send all orders through Royal Mail 1st class delivery at a charge of £3.00 to accomodate 24 hour delivery where available, (we pay the greater set rate charged by Royal mail) for parcels with a sweets total weight up to 1.8kg.  Larger parcels had previously been sent through a courier, however due to ongoing reliabilty issues we have made the decision to use Royal Mail Medium post at a charge of £6 to customers, (a cost of over £8.79 to ourselves) It would be great to be able to offer free postage - we understand that, however, we have very low prices so this is not something we are able to do, but we will continue to try to contribute as much as possible to the postage and not pass all of it on to customers.
