Hello and welcome to The Scottishist where we take running jump and dive into the gorgeously pure, peaty, murky fresh and salty waters that are the icons of Scottish Culture. Today Im joined by academic David Leishman and we are popping the top on our 'Other National Drink', Barrs - Irn Bru. We’re going to get into the history of Irn Bru as well as brush the dust off some of the myths surrounding this icon of Scottish food culture. You can follow The Scottishist Podcast on instagram, facebook and tiktok and hopefully I will learn how they work one day.  Join our Patreon Thank you to TheJonBoy for the Theme music Check out my Bookshop.org reading listMore IrnBru from David Leishman Consumer Nationalism and Barr’s Irn-Bru in Scotland“Original and Best”?
