James Robertson was a grocer in Paisley, Scotland, who was persuaded to buy a barrel of bitter oranges. When sales were slow, James' wife Marion made the oranges into a batch of marmalade and 'Golden Shred' was born. In 1864 'Robertson's' was founded. Marmalade was originally produced at the back of the shop, but soon a factory was set up to meet increased demand, and jam and mincemeat were added to the catalogue. Robertson's has had a Royal Warrant since 1933, this means the British royal family use the products.

Robertson's is a leading brand of Jam and Marmalade in the UK. The brand's most famous product is 'Golden Shred Marmalade'. Known as the 'The World's best marmalade', Golden Shred is the fastest-selling preserve in the UK.
