The morning roll[1] is an airy, chewy bread roll popular in Scotland.

The well-fired roll is given a stronger flavour in its bulk fermentation and baked at a higher temperature, and has a dark crust.[2][3][4][5]

In Fife, a cabin biscuit or cabin roll (/ˈkeɪ.bɪn/ or /ˈkæ.bɪn/) is a local variant. Originating in Buckhaven, extra sugar was added to extend the life of the roll, for use by crews on fishing boats. They bear distinctive prick marks on top.[6][7][8] It is a bread roll and not similar to a biscuit in the conventional British or American sense.

Scottish morning rolls are sold in bakeries, petrol stations and newsagents.[9]
