Mackie's

Mackie's is a Scottish ice cream and confectionery manufacturer based in Rothienorman, Scotland.[2] It was founded in 1912[3] as a dairy farm but diversified into the manufacture of ice cream after selling the milk retail business to Robert Wiseman during 1997.[4] In 2009 a partnership was formed with a Tayside potato farmer to produce crisps, marketed under the name of Mackie's at Taypack.[5] The manufacture of chocolate was added in 2014.[5]
