Campbells Shortbread is a Scottish manufacturer of shortbread and biscuits.
History
The origins of the company arise from Donald Campbell establishing a family bakery in 1830 in the small Highland village of Callander in Perthshire, Scotland.
Until the 1960s Campbells grew as a family bakery delivering to local communities. Through the 1970s the food industry changed and the business moved towards factory production to take advantage of the market potential for what, alongside whisky, was seen as a marketable Scottish ethnic product. In the 1990s Campbells built a new purpose-built shortbread bakery making use of automated machinery to produce higher volumes of product.
Today
All products are still baked and packaged in the town of Callander and exported worldwide. Shortbread is made to a traditional family recipe using natural ingredients. The business continues to be owned and managed by the Campbell family.

The Ghearufu is an evil magical device that consists of a white glove, a black glove, and a small, gold trimmed mirror which is worn around the neck. It was created in the lower planes many millennia ago. An assassin named Ghost wore the item in the book Night Masks of The Cleric Quintet written by Robert Anthony Salvatore, the item allows the wearer to switch bodies at will, even across great distances. The effects can only be resisted by those of powerful minds and most victims are quickly overwhelmed. The destruction of the Ghearufu can only be achieved by having a dragon burn it with its breath.
In The Fallen Fortress, the Fourth book in The Cleric Quintet Cadderly Bonaduce took the Ghearufu high into the Snowflake Mountains to Nightglow peak. There lay Fyrentennimar, a great wyrm Red Dragon many millennia old. Cadderly befriended the dragon through magical means and had it loose its mighty, fiery breath to destroy the Ghearufu forever.
