From the Prince William to Harry Potter movie star 'Hagrid' (Robbie Coltrane) the St Andrews business, started in the 31 South Street premises by Bennett Jannetta in 1908, and thought to be the oldest still operating from its original premises in the town, has served a host of celebrities from the world of sport, stage and the big screen.

As it celebrates 100 years of operating from the well-known building, the business is now in the care of the fourth generation, Bennett's great-granddaughter, Nicola and her husband Owen Hazel.

Nicola says the story of the family business is typical of many set up by Italian immigrants who came to Scotland from the 1880s onwards.

Founder Bennett, with his wife, daughters Louisa and Mary and sons Charlie and Bennett junior, built up a successful business specialising in ice cream manufacture.

Then, as now, it was made in a specially designed and tiled room. During the summer, the shop offers 52 different flavours of ice cream still made on the premises to the same recipe though machines have replaced the hand-stirred method.

After Bennett's death, the business passed to his sons then, on Bennett junior's death, it was run by Charlie and his wife, Mary, who handed it on to their daughter, Fiona and her husband, David De Angelis, Nicola's parents.

In honour of the centenary, a cranachan flavour ice cream has been produced and Owen and Nicola have organised a number of fun activities and giveaways at the shop.

The couple also run the adjoining cafe and restaurant, where the original fish and chip shop, developed by her grandfather was sited.

The family also owns the traditional sweetie shop, Burns, in Market Street
