Candy Display, Holy Loch, Scotland

Posted by Twelvebit (Victoria, United States) on 17 September 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.

My catch up is now stalled by some travel to out of town meetings, but I'm working on it little by little.

Another film scan from the early 80's.

Makes my sweet tooth tingle! There just aren't enough sweetshops like this anymore!

@Julian Kilsby: Maybe it's because I live in suburbia, but you don't see window displays like this --of any kind-- around here.

Is this the candy the tourists buy to throw into the lake to get the Loch Nest Monster to come up to the surface.

@JoeB: You should watch "Incident at Loch Ness" by Werner Herzog.

As my dentist says, caries is the receipt for a sweet life. :-)

Ye Olde Sweet shoppe Great vintage picture, you don't see that anymore. The names on the jars are familiar, 'Sharps' was a well known manufacturer of sweets.

Great nostalgic value.

@Observing: Never tried any because even as I kid I never really cared much for candy. My mother could have let me loose in the candy store with a pocket full of money and no worries that I'd be using it to buy candy.
