Other Forms of Rock
Rock is a different product from rock candy; it more closely resembles a harder candy cane.
Edinburgh rock is another confection based on sugar and cream of tartar, made into sticks. It is friable and flavoured, for example, with ginger or lemon.
Another distinctively Scottish form of rock is star rock (also sometimes known as starry rock), or "starrie", which is made in Kirriemuir. It is sold in small bundles of pencil-sized sticks, and is less brittle than seaside rock.

It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.”
—Auguste Rodin (1849–1917)
“You have constantly urged the idea that you were persecuted because you did not come from West-Point, and you repeat it in these letters. This, my dear general, is I fear, the rock on which you have split.”
