In celebration of Dundee’s connection with marmalade, you lot should along to Mackays Marmalade Festival this Saturday, on board the city’s historical HMS Unicorn Ship.
Who are Mackays?
Mackays in Arbroath are the only remaining producers of the zesty goodness from Dundee.
The company still sell two specific types of Dundee-branded marmalade, so the product’s unique heritage has not gone forgotten.
