Vintage McVitie & Price Edinburgh Castle Miniature Biscuit Tin

This charming vintage biscuit tin was produced by the renowned British biscuit manufacturers McVitie & Price, best known for their iconic Digestives. Dating from the early to mid-20th century (likely 1920s–1940s), this collectible tin features a beautifully detailed lithographed image of Edinburgh Castle surrounded by gardens in full bloom. The base is clearly marked "McVitie & Price Biscuit Manufacturers," offering a lovely nod to its heritage.
