Legend has it that it was Mary Queen of Scots who invented this classic shortbread shape, inspired by the stitched sections of material that made up her royal petticoats. Others believe that shortbread petticoat tails derive their name from petits côtés, a French pointed biscuit often enjoyed with a glass of wine. Whichever story you prefer, you'll love the flavor and crunch of these crisp, buttery Scottish-style cookies. They're handcrafted in Edinburgh by a small, family-run bakery using a signature recipe from Fortnum & Mason—a renowned purveyor of fine British culinary specialties since 1707.
