Hawick Balls - Delicious Peppermint Sweets by Hill's

Hawick Balls by Hill’s are a traditional Scottish boiled sweet, hailing from the Borders town of Hawick. Minty and buttery in flavour, they’re made to a secret recipe that’s stayed the same for generations, giving them their distinctive retro taste and appearance.

These sweets have a strong association with rugby, made famous by legendary commentator Bill McLaren, a proud son of Hawick who was rarely seen without a bag of them to hand out pitch-side. A genuine taste of Scottish Borders heritage, they’ve become a nostalgic favourite for anyone who grew up with them, and a fun discovery for newcomers.

Whether you’re stocking up for yourself or looking for a proper Scottish gift, Hawick Balls bring a bit of Borders tradition to your sweet cupboard.
