Mackie’s of Scotland has landed a deal to become the official ice cream supplier to at least 29 National Trust for Scotland (NTS) venues this summer.
The family-owned Aberdeenshire brand estimates that – visitor guidelines permitting – it will ship up to 60,000 litres if the cold treats to the famous sites this summer, with visitors enjoying more than 250,000 scoops.
Venues which have facilities for eating in or carry out cones and mini-tubs of ice cream that will stock the ice cream include Crathes Castle, Culzean Castle and Country Park, Glencoe National Nature Reserve and Glenfinnan Monument.
A spokesman for Transport Scotland said: “There is a high volume of traffic in this area every year and there have been instances where motorists have parked their vehicles on the A82 and subsequently caused tail backs and congestion.
“This Order prevents that and ensures all stopping is in the proper marked parking places, allowing free flow of traffic through Glencoe at all times.”
The order has been brought in as lockdown eases, with high volumes of domestic tourists expected to head north this summer.
It comes as hundreds of thousands of pounds are spent on the Glencoe and Glen Etive area to help reduce pressure on local communities – as well as make life easier for visitors – as post-pandemic travel picks up this summer.
