After receiving his knighthood, Sir Boyd Tunnock received another accolade this week – after Scotmid renamed their Tannochside store ‘Tunnockside’ for 24 hours to celebrate the achievement.
Campbell Lochie, Scotmid Tannochside’s manager, said: “Tunnock’s is such a big part of Uddingston and the local community we serve.
“It is great to be able to honour Sir Boyd’s achievement by renaming our store for a day.
“Like Tunnock’s, we’re very much a part of the Uddingston landscape and we’re proud to be at the heart of our local community.”
Sir Boyd said: “It was lovely to be recognised by Scotmid. That honour is almost on par with receiving a knighthood!
“On a serious note, it is great to be able to share the good news with the Uddingston community, who have been driving force behind the Tunnock’s story and also with Scotmid who, when they were called St Cuthbert’s, were one of our first big contracts in the 1960s.”
