It's extraordinary to think that when Alexander McKenzie founded McKenzie Bakers over half a century ago in 1952, sugar and confectionery were still rationed in Scotland following the second world war. So for the good citizens of Turriff in the heart of rural Aberdeenshire, the prospect of sticky buns, cakes and biscuits must have been truly mouthwatering!
