About Border

Founded 1984 · Lanark, Scotland

Border’s story starts in 1984, when John Cunningham bought a tiny factory in Lanark. The Lanarkshire bakery is still the home of the family business, which has grown from that modest beginning into a recognised premium biscuit maker.

Its current range spans originals, chocolate-covered biscuits and sharing formats. On teas.co.uk, the four-product edit includes Butterscotch Crunch, Lemon Drizzle Melts, Dark Chocolate Ginger and the Classic Sharing Pack.
