They love to have a pint of Gordon's Scotch Gin on St Andrew's Day. It's marketed as 'London' gin south of the border, but has been distilled in Lanarkshire since 1489.

Don't understand what this is all about, most towns and villages all over the British Isles have their own traditions and foods that others haven't heard of.
