Line 55:
*** A note on Scottish beers, a weary traveller may find beers labelled as 60, 70, 80, or 90 Shilling. This due to a quirk of past Scottish licensing laws ([[The BBC]] has a good article [http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A288317 here]) Basically the lower the shilling, the weaker the beer. Lager is generally Tennents' (who used to put pictures of half naked women on their cans) and they do a lot of sponsorship of major events.
*** As with Whisky (above) there are a [[wikipedia:List of breweries in Scotland|number of microbreweries making specialist beers]]. Once again, sampling them all would be the work of a lifetime.
*** Scotland also has number of Fruit Wine makers, most famous are probably [http://www.cairnomohr.com/ Cairn O'Mohr] (say it [[Incredibly Lame Pun|out-loud]]) and [https://web.archive.org/web/20120114043311/http://www.moniackcastle.co.uk/index.htm Moniack Castle].
** Be warned, alcohol is [[Serious Business]] here so tread lightly.
* '''Square Sausage''': Sasauge. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Shaped like a square]]. Can be eaten as breakfast, lunch or dinner; in the former cases, often combined with a roll. Can be sold either refridgerated or frozen forms; the latter has twice been mistaken for [[Sticky Bomb|SemTex]] at English airport security, the second occassion being with the star of police drama [[Taggart]]. Needless to say, this was funny as hell.
