Just in time for the festive party season, Tennent’s Lager have unveiled their regional pint glasses. Based on customer suggestions, they are engraved with the iconic images, quirks and slogans associated with Scotland’s cities: Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Glasgow’s cone-headed monument and the Barras are mentioned as is the phrase ‘aggessively welcoming’. For Inverness, it’s dolphins and a fifteen minute rush hour. Aberdeen is noted for having seagulls bigger than a Labrador while Edinburgh’s predilection for salt ‘n’ sauce with chips is underlined as are its cobbled streets.

Dundee is celebrated with the slogan ‘Nae too big… Nae too wee… It’s Dundee’. Reasonable but surely it should have been ‘Say aye to a pie’.
