Mitchelhill's "Healthy Life" biscuits tin, c1935
A mid-1930s biscuit tin that taps in to the contemporary 'vibe' for the healthy outdoor life of hiking and rambling. Mitchelhill's bakery in Edinburgh was a curiously Thirties style construction, just off Craigmillar Rd, that seemed to suit this 'healthy' confection - and their Abernethy biscuits were tasty I recall!
I think in later years they were possibly part of the Scribbans-Kemp empire and that latterly the brand was perhaps acquired by Simmer's and latterly Nairn's.
