The schedule for this weekend was really busy. On Friday morning, the plan was to visit the jam & marmalade factory. At 11 o'clock, we arrived at Mackays jam factory in Arbroath and we had a great welcoming from Mr. Paul Grant, the factory manager. After we gathered at the meeting room, Mr. Grant talked about the history of Mackays jam factory which is a family business. <!--[endif]-->
"Mackays, the family-run business, has been making world famous marmalades and preserves for over 70 years. They are now the only remaining producer of orange marmalade in the Dundee area of Scotland following the demise of the famous Keiller family who built the first marmalade factory there back in 1797."
Mr. Grant explained after that the way and the process of making jam & marmalade in which they are one of the few remaining jam manufacturers in Europe that still use the traditional ‘open pan’ method of jam-making which gives the preserves and marmalades their delicious ‘homemade’ taste.
After he showed us a short movie about Mackays Company and answered the girls' questions, he took us on a tour in the factory to see the actual process of jam manufacturing. At the end, he gave us a gift “jam” and we spent the rest of the time at the factory shop buying jam and marmalade for our families at home.
