S. Luca's of Musselburgh are ice cream manufacturers who have shops in Musselburgh and Edinburgh. Luca's began in Musselburgh in 1908 when Italian immigrants Luca and Anastasia Scappaticcio opened the Olympia Refreshment Rooms (now known as the Olympia Café). Luca had learned how to make ice cream whilst working at the North British Hotel. Lucas is still a family business, now in its third generation. Luca Scappaticcio switched his first name and family name and called his business S. Luca and not L. Scappaticcio as it was much easier to pronounce.
This item was digitised as part of the Whose Town? project, an educational resource for schools. Unique archival material was gathered together to create a snapshot of a person's life at a particular point in Edinburgh's history.
