Give our petticoat Tails a whirl, with dip, or dunk, or dainty swirl. Legend has it that it was Mary Queen of Scots who invented this classic shortbread shape, inspired by the stitched sections of material that made up her royal petticoats. Others maintain that shortbread petticoat tails derive their name from petits côtés, a French pointed biscuit, eaten with a glass of wine. Whatever the truth it’s an undisputed fact that this exceptional shortbread handmade in Edinburgh, is the perfect partner to pair to a cup of tea. Or a glass of Whiskey.

Handmade in Edinburgh by a small, family-run bakery, which uses high-quality ingredients and Fortnum’s own recipe, this is an exceptional biscuit that deserves its own place in history.
