Cannoli everywhere?

Has anyone else noticed how many cafés there are selling cannoli all of a sudden? They all look the same but don't seem to be part of a chain - but they also look too 'generic' to all be independent - are they owned by the same person? I know there's a long history of Italian people in Scotland and obviously Italian is an extremely popular cuisine etc etc, but why so much cannoli? Is it a tourist thing? Just curious as I see the same type of café everywhere now - and the cannoli / cakes / etc all look identical from shop to shop. Or is it just me?
