Tunnock’s are having to turn away tourists desperate to learn the secrets of the caramel wafer because of a two-year waiting list. The number of visitors who want a tour of the famous factory has soared.
Eric Cruickshank, 27, from Glasgow, said: “I was trying to book a tour for my wife’s birthday.
“I couldn’t believe it when they told me they were fully booked until 2014. It would probably be easier to get into Willy Wonka’s factory.”
Fergus Loudon, from Tunnock’s, said: “The tours have become increasingly popular.
“I get calls from people from all over the world who want to book their place.
“We are an iconic and very strong brand and people want to see the whole process of how we make our biscuits.”
The free tours of the factory in Uddingston, Lanarkshire, operate six months a year but annual visitor numbers are limited to fewer than 10,000. Fans are shown around the plant where 10million biscuits are made every week

So that rules out any Higher Business Management visit in the near future. Boo hoo.
