There are pictures all over the internet of hundreds of people queuing outside a new doughnut shop at hermiston gait. Its one of these American drive through things I think and there is really bad traffic at the roundabout due to all the cars full of people wanting doughnuts.

Please tell me this is one of those wind ups. I really despair...are people that thick??

Very Popular though and its the 1st in scotland so was always gonna be hyped up and with the Kids being on hols this was always likely to happen, 240 lined up outside in the snow at 7am :greengrin

They are pretty good doughnuts to be fair.

Salted caramel would be my recommendation.

KK donuts are great but you would have to be a massive tit to queue at 7am in the snow to try one.

Doughnuts will make you tubby:agree:

Queuing at 7am for them is insane but about 3 weeks ago they came to The Centre in Livi, everyone was walking around with the pizza boxes filled with doughnuts.

For the first shop in Scotland, why is it at Hermiston Gait?

Thought centre of Edinburgh of Glasgow would have been better

Didn't know it was a drive through. The ones i have been to in London/greater London have all been cafes. That would explain that then.

Hermiston Gait was a good idea :aok:

I'll need to find it first. Can't remember if it's from his Never Scared special or the Bigger and Blacker special. Def one of these two if you want to have a look :aok:

Was up at the Sighthill College Campus today, left at the back of two and drove past with the intent of picking some doughnuts up. Nae danger, cars away round the corner and down round the roundabout and big queues right out the door and round the side of the building.

What a hoot!

Salted caramel is the devil's work and has no place in any self-respecting sweet thing.

Having tried out Krispy Kreme in the US though, I shall be frequently the Edinburgh store once the dafties calm down about them.
