Mackie’s Traditional, a creamy, natural ice cream is a taste of summer you can find in all UK supermarkets. Visit Aberdeen to indulge in one of Mackie’s hand–made ice cream flavours and chocolate on tap in Mackie's 19.2, their first ice cream parlour. Mackie's 19.2 (the distance from the parlour to the farm) is watched over by an enormous Leopard - “Poised”, is a sculpture by Andy Scott, the man behind Scotland's Kelpies!
