I'm under orders to return home this Christmas with plenty of tablet. Where's the smartest place to go for this? Of course I could try one of those tourist shops near Waverly Station but I imagine I'd be paying well over the odds. Where do Scottish people buy their tablet? Can I get it at ASDA? :)

Don't know the recipe but the writer used to be a Glasgow cycle campaigner!

Edinburgh Fudge Kitchen?. Dunno about price. I reckon make your own, tablet strikes me as something you make rather than buy.

Tablet is deceptively difficult to make well, every time i've tried its turned out rubbish.

It's really not that hard.
Use a big heavy pot, make sure you get to the right temperature and then beat the bajeezuz out of it till it gets grainy.
If you don't beat it then you get sort of toffee.
chdot, you know Stewart? We were on an ET course together in '91.

In the end, I found it at ASDA. I had some and I'm not into it, but if my family really like it, I might have a go at making some myself.

There's a stall at the market that just does tablet (in addition to the arran cheese folks)

There is a farm shop in fife that does tablet for £2.25. Clearly, it is home made as they have made it themselves. By weight it is half the price (and IMHO twice as nice as the tablet at balerno Farmers Market [the woman calls it fudge for some reason, or it might be vice versa?]
This tablet is the food of the gods. It is not something that would be available in ASDA (I am not averse to asda according to RBS it is the second biggest taker of my cash after Scotmid]
You can make your own - it is just condensed ,milk and sugar. Too soft = fudge, too hard = toffee. Scraping the pan and licking the spoon = my childhood cavities.

Just the ones if your teeth I hope.

Yes, very normal west coast childhood, no other cavities subjected to tablet.

The Brunton Hall cafe in Musselburgh sells exceedingly good tablet.
