Star Rock Shop is the oldest sweet shop in Scotland, continuously producing rock from the same premises in the Roods of Kirriemuir for nearly 200 years.

Star Rock is an original recipe using only real oil flavour – created by a mason who was blinded and had to change jobs in 1833. It was in his family for over 120 years and the recipes have been passed on with each new owner since.

Star Rock is made on the premises. The main original rock is a light lemon and a very popular flavour is Horehound. You can also find Treacle Toffee, Tablet, and the wee Kirrie secret of Cream Rock. During summer months we also sell Stewart Tower Ice Cream in various flavours.

The shop used to supply star rock to JM Barrie and send it to London when he moved, it has also been presented to the Queen and HRH Princess Mary.

Purchases can be made on the website which are available for delivery to any UK postcode.

Opening Times:
Tuesday to Saturday – 10am to 5pm

The Carnoustie Buddon Course is forged from the same outstanding dunescapes as The Carnoustie Championship Course and provides a test of golf equal to that of its renowned big sister.

First designed in 1981 by Peter Allis and Dave Thomas, The Carnoustie Buddon Course is the newest of the three 18-hole courses at Carnoustie and boasts a rich mixture of classic Links combined with rich tree lined fairways and lakes in a biodiverse setting.

Interestingly considered the most, and least, Links course at Carnoustie, it commences along the North Sea’s edge, affording breath-taking vistas of the bay. As the round unfolds, it seamlessly transitions into heathland terrain before gradually embracing a parkland setting.

Here, picturesque lakes teeming with wildlife grace the landscape, a testament to Carnoustie’s ecological stewardship and sustainability endeavours. Reverting to a Links-like character on the back nine, the course culminates in two exceptional tests of Links golf and offers a perfect end to the round.
