Look out for a new purple landmark in Glasgow this summer – 5pm Taste O’ Tartan machines selling whisky, haggis and “See You Jimmy” hats.
The machines will be placed in various location in Glasgow city centre during the Commonwealth Games.
We want visitors to have easy access to Scotland’s national food and drink – as well as the famous Glasgow sense of humour.

Our CEO Ronnie Somerville said: ““Glasgow has a unique culture and sense of humour which I want to visitors to experience this summer.
“With haggis being our national dish and whisky or national drink, these machines are a cheap and convenient way for tourists to learn about Scottish culture.”
Chairman Charles Shaw added: “The atmosphere in Glasgow during the Commonwealth games is sure to be electric and I envisage a sea of ‘See You Jimmy’ hats on Buchanan Street!”
“We believe the Taste O’ Tartan machines are the perfect way to promote Scottish food and drink, as well as the famous Glasgow banter.”
Purple machines
The Taste O’ Tartan machines will be the same purple colour as our website and branded with the 5pm logo.
The brands of whisky and haggis available in the machines have yet to be confirmed but a number of suppliers have expressed interest.
