The ‘first of its kind’ interactive machine welcomes visitors to the ‘World of Walker’s’, where they can discover the story of the 125 year old brand, enjoy a complimentary shortbread finger and be recommended a product to purchase in the World Duty free store as they pass through. The vending machine invites passengers to take a digital quiz to help match them to the perfect Walker’s product for any occasion - whether for gifting, to share with family and friends or simply to enjoy themselves - and takes travellers on a journey to the Highlands, the home of Walker’s Shortbread , where the world-famous product is made.
Travellers will hear how the brand’s much-loved shortbread recipe , which uses just four ingredients, has remained in the Walker family recipe books since founder, Joseph Walker, baked his first batch over a century ago, before being dispensed a complimentary Walker’s shortbread finger to enjoy. It also features a digital display with illustrations of iconic Scottish landmarks and symbols – including Edinburgh Castle and the Loch Ness Monster – and information on Walker’s latest in-store offers.
