Gardiners of ScotlandEdinburgh Rock Carton, 6 Ounce (Pack of 2)

I gave some to my friend who is English who moved down to Santa Fe, NM USA from Ottawa Canada and he had never had them before, I am also going to give some to some of our Senior Friends who live in our Apartment Building

Disappointed as the package had colorful candies. Every candy was white. Bad sign.It is not light weight like I thought candies might taste like.Maybe it's a cultural specialty which I don't appreciate. The taste was a bit sour. I thought maybe the candy was large sugar cubes.I rather eat a sugar cube than this candy.Unless you know exactly what to expect.....I suggest not to buy. It was a total waste of money. Cannot even use it as sugar substitute. I feel like it's a rip off. I should have read a review in advance.

It is very hard, not too sweet, a very slight tart taste. No distinguishable fruit flavor. Some described it as chalky. My son thinks it's delicious but he's loves Scotland. Lol

I really liked these. But my German Shepard Loves them. ❤️

I was very disappointed with these candies. The package shows several colors which implies a flavor variety. They were all white and the flavor was strange- sort of vanilla w a tinge of weird citrus. They were indeed hard as rocks - like super hard freeze dried marshmellows. A tiny amount for the price.

I bought it for curiosity's sake. I'm glad I did. As other reviewers have said, one can only see the difference in colors in the right light... otherwise it looks uniformly whitish. But the packaging was great. I enjoyed reading about Edinburgh Castle and understood why the candy is called "Edinburgh Rock". It tasted good and melted in my mouth with a pleasant aftertaste. It would be fun to give this away as a treat on a Scottish holiday, as part of a celebration of Scotland, or even as part of a Highlander or Outlander Marathon.

Honestly I bought them because I had no idea what it would be like. Sort of like an after dinner mint texture. I loved them. Worth the experiemnt!

I was so excited to try this candy, and I assumed that the package would tell me what flavors the different colors were going to be. It does not. In fact even the manufacturer's website doesn't tell. I finally found the flavors on a third party website, so let me save you some time: white is ginger, green is lime, pink is raspberry, orange is orange, and yellow is either pineapple or lemon.Pros:* Each flavor is distinct once you taste them.* If you enjoy those little uncoated pastel mints, the ones that start out somewhat hard, but then begin to soften in your mouth after a few seconds, so that if you bite down they gently melt away, you might like these candies.Cons:* It's almost impossible to tell the different colors apart. The green ones are just bright enough to pick out from the others, but the rest all kind of look alike. In my photo you can see all the pretty colors on the package, compared to the homogeneous slightly tinted off-white of the actual candies.* The outside of the package is appealing and giftable, but the inside is just a plain plastic bag. They could have been more environmentally friendly by using a waxed paper type bag, and I think it would have looked classier as well. But if they were going to use plastic, why not separate the flavors or display the candies more attractively?Because we strongly dislike the ginger flavor, and it was so hard to tell the different flavors apart, we ended up throwing most of these away.For years I've relied on my fellow shoppers' reviews to help me make informed decisions: contributing details about my own experience is my way of paying that forward.
