Tunnock's Teacake boss Boyd Tunnock has been knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
The confectionery boss receives the honour for services to business and charity.
He is head of the Uddingston-based firm which produces treats including the caramel wafer, the snowball and the teacake he invented in 1956, which has gone on to become a confectionery icon.
Sir Boyd, 86, said it was a "wonderful honour" to be knighted.
He said: "When you get to my age very few things surprise you, but this certainly did and I am deeply honoured and grateful to Her Majesty The Queen.
"Our primary purpose in life is to help others who are less fortunate than ourselves. Our country is full of very worthwhile causes that we can all make a contribution to in some way. Often just a little of your time is more valuable than money.
"This is a wonderful honour and I feel that I share it with my family and the Tunnock's workforce.
"I'll just have to make sure I live long enough to get used to it."
Former Labour MP Brian Donohoe, who represented Central Ayrshire until 2015, also receives a knighthood for services to parliamentary and political service.
Laura Lee, chief executive of the charity Maggie's, has been made a dame for services to cancer patients.
