Tunnock's selling 101-year-old Uddingston Caramel police Station

The category C-listed building, which dates back to 1925 and sits close to the Tunnock’s factory in Uddingston, was purchased for almost £210,000 and used for storage.

Sir Boyd delighted residents in 2019 by installing a temporary sign reading Caramel Station 2019.

The building is now being sold as the company plans to expand its factory.

A sales brochure describes the site as an "end terraced, single storey building with parking and garden space to the rear."

They said: "The premises benefit from dedicated pedestrian and vehicular access via Old Glasgow Road.

"Internally, the subjects consist of a dedicated entrance, multiple office rooms, staff kitchen/dining facilities and a storeroom.

"The property benefits from a combination of carpet and laminate floor coverings. Ceilings are finished by way of a painted ceiling with tiled LED lighting throughout.

"The premises also benefit from a large yard to the rear, housing two smaller garages."

Proposals for expansion have divided the community.

Opponents have argued the changes could increase traffic in the area.

Tunnock’s hopes to create a new packaging store to 'future-proof' the site and cope with increased demand for their products worldwide.

Bosses said the extension on the existing third floor would increase efficiency in the handling of products.

Supporters have hailed the Scottish success story and encouraged officials to back the development.

Sir Boyd, who was knighted by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2019, revealed she told him she preferred the teacakes over caramel wafers during the ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
