Tesco has backed down in its bid to rename one of Scotland's favourite traditional foods after receiving complaints from customers.

The supermarket giant had repackaged tattie scones as potato scones.

However, it has now agreed to revert back to the breakfast favourite's original title after being contacted by customer.

Margaret Cooper, from Bo’ness, who contacted Tesco about the change, said: “Tattie scones is the name everyone uses for this food item and there’s no reason why the name should be changed.

"I contacted Tesco to complain and they sent me an e-mail telling me they were looking into it. I mentioned it on Facebook and a number of my friends also wrote to the store.

"I was surprised but pleased to receive a call to say that Tesco had taken on board my complaint and would change the name of the product to ‘tattie scones’ in the next two weeks. “

Michael Hance, director of the Scots Language Centre, said: “I’m really glad to hear Tesco has responded to customer pressure. ‘Tattie’ is a perfectly respectable Scots word used by people across the country. I’ve never heard anyone call this product ‘potato scones’.

"This is not the time to say tatty bye to the tattie scone and Tesco has done the right thing.”
