Scottish Sweets

By Kay Glasgow

If you have Scottish ancestors, perhaps you inherited Scotland's sweet tooth. Just the thought of soor plooms or rhubarb rock makes my mouth water. Indulge! Anagrams of old fashioned boiled sweets and some contemporary ones won't rot your teeth. But don't look for sweeties like jujubes, gundies and glessies in this poke of sweets. They were too difficult to anagram.
