Purchase locations

Scottish morning rolls are not traditionally purchased from supermarkets; rather they are purchased from bakeries, newsagents,[6] corner shops, butchers shops, and fish and chip shops. Recently however, supermarkets such as the Scotmid have made deals with local bakeries[7] to provide the rolls in-store.
