LUCKY TATTIES I WAS reminded recently about lucky tatties. These make a relatively late appearance in the Dictionaries of the Scots Language (DSL) with the following definition: “A candied confection covered in cinnamon powder with a small gift inside. I remember these as a child. I also recall that they came with a small plastic charm in the middle. However, this was not always the case – sometimes there was financial reward. This was revealed in the very earliest example I have found from the Dundee Evening Telegraph of June 1928 where a young boy gives details of his sweetie of choice: “I laid my halfpenny on the counter and in answer to Jenny’s smiling query about what I wanted I replied, ‘a lucky tattie’. then, as I nibbled a bit here and a bit there out of the toothsome dainty, I felt my teeth strike on something hard. A closer inspection revealed a brand-new halfpenny.”
