Equi's
About
Equi’s is a beloved Scottish ice‑cream parlour that fuses over a century of Italian heritage with Scottish flavour and sustainability. At the heart of Hamilton’s historic Burnbank Road, visitors can wander into a warm, family‑friendly shop where a full range of award‑winning flavours—from creamy double‑cream vanilla to bold sea‑salt & caramel, to the ever‑popular Sophie’s Crunch—await. The parlour prides itself on using fresh, locally sourced milk from Park Farm, cutting down the carbon footprint and ensuring the creamiest scoops. Beyond the tasting shelf, Equi’s offers a behind‑the‑scenes look at its state‑of‑the‑art factory, where 16 million litres of water are recycled annually and energy‑saving steam boilers keep the environment green. Equi’s commitment to community extends well beyond the shop: from supporting Maggie’s Lanarkshire and Kilbryde Hospice to partnering with local football clubs and running the ‘Too Good To Go’ rescue programme. Whether you’re a first‑time visitor looking for a sweet treat after a hike in the Scottish Highlands or a nostalgic return to a childhood favourite, Equi’s delivers a taste of tradition that feels both familiar and adventurous.
