DRAMBUIE

Prince Charlie's Liqueur

The origin of "DRAMBUIE”. and the basis of its production give it a character distinct from other Liqueurs.

Brought to Scotland by a follower of Prince Charlie in 1745, the recipe was given to a MacKinnon of Skye, and the secret has ever since remained in one family. The MacKinnon of that day employed the materials which were available, and in place of Brandy a fine old Whisky was used. This, along with heather honey and herbal ingredients of 'recognised value aa aide to digestion produced a Liqueur which soon gained the post of honour on the tables of Highland · Aristocracy, and is now known world-wide

The general health and welfare of the people had made much pro- gress in these 50 years.

The building which Glasgow Cer poration are to eract at the corner of St. Enoch Square and Argyle Street will make another con- tribution to the changing architec ture of Argyle Street.
