Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EX1RE5 - Pint of Stewart Brewing Unbelievab-ale Worldie IPA served on cask at the Athletic Arms, the historic Edinburgh pub widely known as Diggers. The pump clip uses a Scotland football theme, showing players in dark blue and red kits beneath the Stewart Brewing branding, with the beer identified as a 4.2% ABV Worldie IPA. The image links Scottish real ale culture with the national team's return to the FIFA World Cup in 2026.
Scotland qualified for the tournament after a 28-year absence from the finals and competed in Group C against Haiti, Morocco and Brazil. The team beat Haiti 1-0 before defeats to Morocco and Brazil, finishing third in the group and missing the knockout stage. The tournament nevertheless generated strong interest across Scotland, with pubs, breweries and hospitality venues using football-themed promotions, screenings and limited or seasonal beers to attract supporters.
Stewart Brewing, an independent Edinburgh brewery, produced Unbelievab-ale Worldie IPA as a football-themed beer for the 2026 competition. The pump clip describes it as a 4.2% IPA, while contemporary pub promotion identified citrus, floral and zesty tasting notes. Its name combines football language with a beer pun, presenting the drink as a celebratory Scottish product tied to the World Cup occasion.
The Athletic Arms stands at 1“3 Angle Park Terrace and has served Edinburgh drinkers since 1897. Its nickname, Diggers, derives from its location between two graveyards and its historic association with gravediggers. The pub is known for cask ale, whisky and match-day trade due to its proximity to Tynecastle Park and Murrayfield Stadium.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EX1REF - . Younger's 80 shilling cask conditioned beer stained glass window in a traditional Scottish pub, The Athletic Arms / Diggers, Edinburgh. Photographed on 28 June 2026. The recorded location is Scotland, UK. The colourful decorative panel carries Wm. McEwan brewer lettering, an 80/- emblem and wording referring to Fountain Brewery Edinburgh, linking the design to Scotland's historic brewing industry. Eighty shilling is a traditional Scottish ale designation and brewery branding of this kind was widely used in public houses to promote beer and reinforce brewery identity. Red, green and amber glass creates a distinctive period decorative effect. For community asset, the historical context is that british pubs developed from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, music venues and landmarks
Names, brewery signs, etched glass, tiled interiors and evolving fascias can preserve local history even when ownership or use changes. Looking at ecclesiastical architecture, the longer history is that parish churches and cathedrals are among Britain's richest sources of architectural and social history
Medieval fabric, later chapels, organs, altars, monuments and inscriptions can coexist within a single building, revealing generations of craftsmanship and evolving liturgy. The background to independent business is that commercial premises are part of everyday local history
Even businesses without national fame can become important reference points for residents and researchers once ownership changes or redevelopment alters the street. For community asset, the 2026 context is that in England eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief for the 2026/27 billing year, reflecting continuing concern about operating costs, closures and the role of hospitality in town-centre vitality. The scene also brings together place of worship, architectural conservation, and local history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EX1REP - Gold-branded electronic fruit machine inside the Athletic Arms, the historic Edinburgh pub widely known as Diggers. The brightly illuminated cabinet displays a £100 jackpot, a Penguins Go Wild game screen and a selection of colourful gambling titles, including Gold, Wild Gold, Pots of Gold, Rainbow Riches and Duck-themed games. The machine carries Fair City Amusements branding and stands against the pub's dark timber panelling beside a small table.
The Athletic Arms opened in 1897 and occupies 1“3 Angle Park Terrace in Edinburgh. Its familiar nickname, Diggers, is linked to its position between two graveyards and the tradition of gravediggers visiting the pub after work. The venue is also known for cask ale, an extensive whisky range and its proximity to Tynecastle Park and Murrayfield Stadium.
Fruit machines remain a familiar feature of some British pubs, combining flashing lights, themed graphics, sound effects and cash prizes in a setting where customers may also be drinking alcohol. The prominent £100 jackpot and repeated gold imagery are designed around the prospect of an instant win, while the range of games encourages continued play and repeated spending.
The photograph can illustrate pub entertainment, licensed gambling, gaming-machine revenue and the social normalisation of low-stake betting. It is also relevant to coverage of gambling harms, compulsive behaviour and addiction risk. Gaming machines provide rapid and repeated opportunities to stake money, and losses can accumulate despite the language of prizes, jackpots and striking gold.
The scene records a traditional Edinburgh public house alongside a modern electronic gambling product, contrasting Victorian-style wooden surroundings with a vivid digital gaming display. It is suitable for editorial themes involving Scottish pub culture, consumer leisure, gambling regulation, public health, financial harm and responsible gambling awareness.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EX1RFE - . McEwan's The Legend In Your Local etched mirror or pub advertising sign inside a Scottish pub, The Diggers Edinburgh. Photographed on 28 June 2026. The recorded location is Edinburgh , Scotland, UK. The decorative glass carries large McEwan's lettering with the slogan The Legend In Your Local, reflecting the historic visibility of brewery branding in traditional public houses. McEwan's is a long-established Scottish beer name associated with Edinburgh brewing and pub culture. Warm wooden fittings and reflected interior detail give the photograph a strong heritage pub atmosphere. Seen through nightlife, the earlier context is that public houses form a distinctive strand of British social history
Coaching routes, tied brewery estates, Victorian urban growth and twentieth-century leisure each shaped the location and appearance of pubs, many of which later became restaurants, shops, housing or community assets. For street furniture, the historical context is that signs are functional pieces of graphic design that organise movement and communicate rules, names or destinations
Lettering, symbols, colours and materials can date public space as clearly as architecture, particularly when organisations rebrand or regulations evolution. Looking at souvenir, the longer history is that material culture includes the ordinary products people bought, used, collected or displayed
Small manufactured objects can reveal national identity, advertising, technology and popular taste in ways that formal records do not. The 2026 relevance of nightlife comes from the fact that pub survival remains a live issue as energy, staffing, taxation and changing drinking habits affect the licensed trade
Historic and contemporary pub images therefore have relevance to community assets, nightlife, independent brewing, high-street change and hospitality economics. Additional subject language includes souvenir, consumer object, vintage object, and memorabilia.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EDKYT4 - A Dundee-themed Tennent's beer pump font is pictured on the bar at The Pillars in Crichton Street, Dundee, with a colourful illustrated design showing local stock-photo/gotonysmith-Landmarks.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>landmarks and the city name wrapped around the tall illuminated tap. The image combines Scottish beer branding, pub interior detail, bar counter culture and local civic identity, making it useful for stories about Tennent's lager, Scottish pubs, Dundee nightlife, draught beer, pub design, branded fonts and the way national beer brands adapt their marketing to local places. The Pillars Bar and Salty Dog Lounge is listed by the Food Standards Agency at 9 Crichton Street, Dundee, DD1 3AP, and CAMRA describes The Pillars as dating back to 1864, believed to be the oldest pub in Dundee, with a loyal regular trade and a handpull for real ale. The image is commercially useful for coverage of Dundee hospitality, historic pubs, city-centre drinking, bar interiors, Scottish beer culture, cask ale, CAMRA pubs, local tourism, pub heritage and the survival of traditional bars in changing high streets. The nearby Schehallion Craft Lager pump, back bar bottles, fridges, warm lighting and polished brass handpulls add documentary value, showing a working pub environment rather than a staged product shot. The tall red Tennent's T-shaped font gives the scene strong visual impact and would suit features on beer marketing, lager sales, branded draught equipment, Scottish brewing, pub chains, independent pubs, local identity and the night-time economy. As a stock image, it records a small but distinctive piece of pub culture, where beer branding, local landmarks, regular customers, tourism and Dundee's long drinking history meet at the bar.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PMT9E1 - . Victorian pub urinal, at the Lass O Gowrie pub, 36 Charles St, Manchester, England, UK, M1 7DB. Photographed on 14 April 2023. The Lass 'O' Gowrie pub occupies a site on Charles Street beside the bridge that carries the street over the River Medlock and between the street and the railway viaduct. This area was once one of the poorest in the city which, based upon the origin of many of its residents, was known as Little Ireland. The pub website says of its history: Legend has it that the original landlord of the pub was not an Irishman, but a proud, homesick Scotsman who named the pub in honour of his favourite poem - 'the Lass O'Gowrie' written by the celebrated Scottish poet Lady Carolina Nairne. The Slaters Directory of Manchester & Salford indicated that in 1895 the Lass 'O' Gowrie's landlord was Charles Nolan. By 1909 the directory indicated that James Wagstaffe was the landlord. Looking at independent brewery, the longer history is that public houses form a distinctive strand of British social history
Coaching routes, tied brewery estates, Victorian urban growth and twentieth-century leisure each shaped the location and appearance of pubs, many of which later became restaurants, shops, housing or community assets. The background to public poetry is that poetry displayed in streets or public buildings moves literature beyond the book and turns ordinary places into temporary reading spaces
Such projects link typography, public art and local identity. In 2026, independent brewery remains relevant because pub survival remains a live issue as energy, staffing, taxation and changing drinking habits affect the licensed trade
Historic and contemporary pub images therefore have relevance to community assets, nightlife, independent brewing, high-street change and hospitality economics. Current 2026 context around public poetry is that literary installations and festivals continue to use public space to widen access to poetry and support local creative.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M69CA3 - Sitting sweetly on the bank of the River Medlock, just up the road from Oxford Road, the Lass O' Gowrie is an ancient and venerable Irish (but originally Scottish) pub and Manchester landmark, appearing on maps as early as 1844, back when it stood next to the Garratt Cotton Mill. Back then it was surrounded by hardcore slums which are now modern housing for a modern Manchester.
Complete with original tilework and fittings, the Lass sees a cheerful and diverse crowd on Fridays and Saturdays. It's very popular for post-work drinks or as a staging post on your way to Canal Street or the Northern Quarter.
One of the Lass O' Gowrie's unique features is its balcony-based smoking area, built out over the river below (and well-secured with high walls, so don't worry about stumbling). There's something very special about this particular slice of the city, with the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel off to the north, the opposite balcony of Joshua Brooks just to your east, and the pleasant sounds of the River Medlock filling the evening.
What's on the tap? Well, first and foremost the answer is Guinness, and that's what we recommend to be in keeping with the theme. But you should also check out the various craft beers on the list, like Tollgate Brewery's Belmorado pale ale. Guest beers circulate through the tap month by month, so there's always something new to try. The Lass O' Gowrie can also offer a selection of jolly bar snacks for all you pork scratching aficionados out there.
Listing NGR: SJ8431397523 - As it's surrounded by exciting developments like Circle Square, the Lass O' Gowrie caters to a diverse crowd of students, professionals, and tourists, so whoever you are, you're bound to find a warm welcome in the pub's surprisingly large interior.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHBJYB - What is cask-conditioned beer?
For the first thirty years of CAMRA's story, most of the better flavoured beer in the UK were the type of ˜real ale' that is served from a type of barrel called a cask . While stored in a pub's cellar, the beer inside these casks develops its character, or condition , for up to a week, thanks to the presence of live yeast in the beer. It is then served without the injection of carbon dioxide gas.
This additional maturation should add elegance to the beer's character, while the absence of gas injection makes its carbonation gentler.
Major efforts by CAMRA, including publicising the best outlets for such cask-conditioned beers and running hundreds of beer festivals each year that served them, promoted them ahead of the industrial brands that had come to dominate the UK beer trade in the late 20th century.
The term real ale became associated with beer served from a pub's cellar via tall, hand-pulled pumps mounted on the bar, with the make of beer named on a clip attached around the narrowest part of the handle. A few would be served directly from the cask, through a simple tap.
Like any artisan product, a cask-conditioned beer requires special handling and storage to be consumed at its best. The cellar temperature needs to be fairly consistent and neither too hot or too cold
the cask should lie undisturbed and its keeping time respected
and the pipes through which it flows to the bar must be kept thoroughly clean. A cask-conditioned beer served in a British pub remains an essential part of British culture

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H9PM2H - . Photographed at the recorded location in 2016, this detailed documentary image records the subject within its real surroundings and preserves a specific stage in the life of the location. At the centre of the view is Scottish provincial institution building, Glasgow city centre, Scotland. The subject also carries associations with street-level symbolism, place identity, architectural detail, flag culture, historic streetscape, civic identity, public realm, before-and-after reference, cityscape history, period detail, conservation architecture, public expression of identity, English identity, and changing streetscape. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with political symbolism, community cohesion and the visibility of English identity in residential streets and public space. The modern context includes continuing discussion of redevelopment pressure, planning control and how historic buildings acquire new uses as cities change. Small period details of landscape treatment and surrounding development at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following later reinterpretation. The subject also sits alongside patriotic symbolism, national symbolism, national emblem, heritage landmark, heritage asset, local history, historical comparison, and St George's Cross. The recorded references to Glasgow, centre, provincial, building, and institution preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. Around the recorded location, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. The image also provides a reference for political symbolism and the distinction between everyday patriotism and more contentious uses of national imagery when considered against later change at the recorded location. It also preserves evidence of earlier appearance for later comparison.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H9PM2R - . An on-location photograph from Drury St, Glasgow,Scotland,UK G2 5AE in 2016, showing the named subject as part of a wider social, commercial, cultural or physical setting rather than as an isolated object. The main point of reference is Scottish Indy Yes Bar,Glasgow,Scotland,UK - Vote Yes to a 2nd UK referendum. The subject also carries associations with everyday life, conservation architecture, architectural character, changing streetscape, period building, changing land use, before-and-after reference, local character, period detail, heritage asset, contemporary social history, adaptive reuse, archival record, and community identity. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with tourism, energy retrofit and keeping older buildings useful without erasing their distinctive character. For later comparison, the photograph preserves period objects and surrounding context at Drury St, Glasgow,Scotland,UK G2 5AE, details that may look very different after new ownership. The photograph additionally reflects architectural detail, heritage landmark, documentary photography, historic townscape, historic streetscape, urban fabric, conservation interest, and built heritage. References to Scottish, referendum, Glasgow, and Scotland give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. By fixing the subject within Drury St, Glasgow,Scotland,UK G2 5AE, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history. Another useful connection is tourism and the balance between conservation, retrofit and modern accessibility in a form that can be compared with future views of Drury St, Glasgow,Scotland,UK G2 5AE. The scene further reflects planning control and the balance between conservation, retrofit and modern accessibility within the real-world context of Drury St, Glasgow,Scotland,UK G2 5AE.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H4HM2C - William Henry Duncan (27 January 1805 “ 23 May 1863), also known as Doctor Duncan, was an English doctor who worked in Liverpool as its first Medical Officer of Health.
Biography
Duncan was born in Liverpool to Scottish parents. He was the nephew of James Currie, an earlier influential Liverpool physician. He was also the nephew of Henry Duncan of Ruthwell and received his early education in Scotland, under Henry Duncan's protection. William Henry Duncan qualified as a medical doctor in Edinburgh, returning to Liverpool to work in general practice. He was appointed Medical Officer of Health on 1 January 1847.
Duncan was one of the celebrated trio of pioneering officers appointed under a private act (the Liverpool Sanatory Act 1846) by the Borough's Health of the Town Committee
the others being James Newlands, Borough Engineer, and Thomas Fresh, Inspector of Nuisances (though it was recently discovered that Fresh had already been in a non-statutory version of the post for several years before this).
A pub in Liverpool called Doctor Duncan's is named in his honour. One of the buildings of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Liverpool is named after William Henry Duncan, The William Henry Duncan Building, whose entrance is off West Derby Street. The building houses the Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease (link), research groups from the Institute of Translational Medicine and the Liverpool Biobank. Part funded by the EDRF the building also houses the Liverpool BioInnovation Hub

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ETRXD8 - . The Shoogly Peg pub, Rose St,Edinburgh,Scotland,UK. Photographed on 15 June 2015. The recorded location is 133 Rose Street Edinburgh EH2 4LS, Scotland,UK. Ex Gordon Arms. Looking at the subject's development, british pubs evolved from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, drinking houses, music venues and landmarks within town and village life
Their architecture, signs, interiors and changing names often preserve layers of local commercial and social history. Historically, beer production links malt, hops, yeast and water with specialist equipment and cellar practice
Images of brewing vessels, casks and handpumps can illustrate both manufacturing and the pub trade that brings cask ale to the customer. For the 2026 context, in England the sector remains under pressure from operating costs and business rates, although eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief/27
That makes historic and contemporary pub photographs particularly relevant to coverage of hospitality, community assets and changing town centres. In 2026, beer culture combines traditional cask ale with craft brewing, cans, keg products and lower-alcohol choices
Photographs of older handpumps and brewery equipment help trace that evolution. The wider historical story is that public houses form a distinctive part of British social history, combining licensed drinking, hospitality and community life
Older pubs can reveal changing fashions in brewing, tied houses, coaching routes, urban development and leisure, while modern bars show how the licensed trade continues to adapt. In 2026, pub survival is a live issue, with government support including a 15% business-rates relief for eligible pubs and live-music venues in England during 2026/27, alongside wider debate about closures, property costs and the value of pubs as community assets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXHH2 - William Brodie (28 September 1741 “ 1 October 1788), more commonly known by his prestigious title of Deacon Brodie, was a Scottish cabinet-maker, deacon of a trades guild and Edinburgh city councillor, who maintained a secret life as a burglar, partly for the thrill, and partly to fund his gambling.
Popular myth holds that Deacon Brodie built the first gallows in Edinburgh and was also its first victim. Of this William Roughead in Classic Crimes states that after research he was sure that although the Deacon may have had some hand in the design, ...it was certainly not of his construction, nor was he the first to benefit by its ingenuity.
Sign at Deacon Brodie's Tavern on Edinburgh's Royal Mile
Brodie's alter ego
Robert Louis Stevenson, whose father owned furniture made by Brodie, wrote a play (with W. E. Henley) entitled Deacon Brodie, or The Double Life, which was unsuccessful. However, Stevenson remained fascinated by the dichotomy between Brodie's respectable façade, and his real nature and was inspired to write The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886).[1]
Deacon Brodie is commemorated by a pub of that name on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, on the corner of the Lawnmarket and Bank Street which leads down to The Mound, and a close off the Royal Mile, which contained his family residence and workshops, still bears the name Brodie's Close. A pub in New York City carrying his name sits on the south side of the famous west side 46th Street Restaurant Row between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue.
In 1997 a TV movie of the same name starring Billy Connolly was made in Edinburgh

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED3YP - The Old Tolbooth was the main municipal building in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland for more than 400 years. The medieval structure, which was located at the west end of the Luckenbooths on the High Street in the Old Town, was first established in the 14th century by royal charter. Over the years it served a variety of purposes such as housing the Burgh Council, early meetings of the Estates of Scotland and the Court of Session. The Tolbooth was also the burgh's main gaol where public execution and torture were routinely conducted.
In 1817 the building, which had been rebuilt and renovated several times, was demolished.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HD49 - Minimum alcohol pricing in Scotland.
Five European wine-producing nations are trying to block Scotland's plans for minimum alcohol pricing.
France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Bulgaria have said the policy is illegal, unfair and ineffective and could have a devastating impact on the wine and spirits industry.
They argue that it breaches European free trade law by discriminating against imported alcohol products.
The Scottish government insisted minimum pricing was perfectly legal.
The European Commission (EC) is currently considering the Scottish government's request to be granted an exemption from trade regulations to enact the minimum price law which was approved by the Scottish Parliament last year.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 7706160488 - 'One of my favourite watering holes in Edinburgh New Town, only 10-15 mins walk from Princes St area. Its well worth a walk for a great range of real ales and whiskies. I have spent a good few hours in there with my good friend Stephen Buchan. A chap who appreciates a real ale or two.
Originally a Georgian coach house, in the early Victorian era the building was remodelled into John Kay and Sons, Wines and spirits Merchants. Sympathetically modified in the 1970's the bar hosts a plethora of original Victorian features. its a bit like going back in time, reminds me a little of Mulligans in Dublin. Shame no one has written a novel covering a single drunken day around Edinburgh yet. If so, this pub should surely be in it.
Usually available are Budvar, Leffe, Budvar Dark, Innis &
Gunn, Furstenberg Frei, Corona, Magners, Becks, crabbies, Draught Guinness, Strongbow, fizzy Fosters &
Kronenburg.
I have never eaten there, but they do mince/haggis neeps and tatties \u00a34.10, Scotch pie beans and chips for under \u00a34. More up market herring salad just over a fiver.
Kays, 39 Jamaica Street Edinburgh, Midlothian EH3 6HF - Telephone 0131 225 1858.
Note no Children allowed in bar at any time.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1PT - Stornoway (Gaelic: Steòrnabhagh) is a town on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (also known as the Western Isles) of Scotland.
The town's population is around 8,000, making it the largest town in the Hebrides, with a third of the population of the civil parish of Stornoway, which includes various nearby villages and has a population of approximately 12,000.
Stornoway is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. It is home to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (the Western Isles Council) and a variety of educational, sporting and media establishments. Observance of the Christian Sabbath (Sunday) has long been an aspect of the island's culture. Recent changes mean that Sunday on Lewis is now less different from Sunday on the other Western Isles or the mainland of Scotland.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4546943548 - 'One of my favourite watering holes in the city of Edinburgh. Delightfully tucked away off Princes Street and away from the rowdy bars of Rose Street. My default choice in there is Weihenstephan - '\u00e4lteste Brauerei der Welt' (lierally Dedicating Stefan - oldest brewery of the world), which is a lovely pint, in its own special tall glass. A plaque outside details its history.
The origins of the site was the Guildford Arms Hotel. This was more or less totally rteworked by Robert Macfarlane Cameron in 1898. It was modelled on the then popular victorian gin palace theme echoing the Phil in Liverpool and the Crown in Belfast among others. Most pubs were at the time male dominated and frankly dingy and possibly a little dangerous. The temperance movement is said to have encouraged the design of more luxurious pubs, particularly suitable for the fairer sex rather than just men.
The current configuration dates from 1940. However the centrepoint of the Guildford\u2019s late Victorian opulence is the magnificent Jacobean style ceiling which can be seen in this image. A row of real ale pumps on the bar all have the logo of DM Stewart, owner since victorian days.
A grand old Thorne Brothers Mirror hangs at the end of the bar. Just below the cornice height, wood panelling conceals a hidden room: legend has that this was aparently used to store spirits and other liquor which was pumped to the room from street level. A narrow walkway
leads from this room around the inner walls to the Gallery. This gallery now provides an ideal spot for diners to marvel at the superbly decorated ceiling or gaze down at the punters in the Public Bar. Both lunch and dinner are served in the Gallery Restaurant with lunch and snacks (Chilli Cashews is my weakness when in there) also served in the Lounge &
Public Bar areas. I can vouch for the excellent range of real ales. Usually a wider selection from Scotland (including the islands) than the neighbour to the south too. Readers of The Edinburgh Evening News voted the Guildford Arms Best City Bar in 1999. If you are in town and have a spare hour or so for victorian time travel, pop in!

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AGMNR5 - A nostalgic collection of British chocolate bars and confectionery from the 1970s, displayed together to illustrate changing consumer tastes, packaging design and branding over the decades. The selection includes well-known favourites such as Bounty, Cadbury Whole Nut and Nestlé Milkybar, which remain familiar to shoppers today, alongside discontinued products including Golden Cup, Bar Six and Double Agents. Also featured are promotional and character-themed confectionery such as Doctor Who and Pink Panther chocolate, reflecting the growing influence of television, comics and popular culture on food marketing during the decade. The brightly coloured wrappers and distinctive typography capture the visual style of 1970s British retailing, when many chocolate bars cost only a few pence and were commonly sold through newsagents, supermarkets and school tuck shops. Images such as this are valuable for illustrating consumer history, branding evolution, food packaging, advertising, nostalgia, collecting, social history and the changing landscape of the UK confectionery industry. Some of the featured products have disappeared completely, while others continue to be produced in updated packaging, making the collection an interesting comparison between past and present British chocolate brands. The image is suitable for editorial use covering food history, retail heritage, vintage consumer products, childhood memories and the enduring popularity of classic confectionery.

It's the mother of all Malmaison's. The former house of ill-repute now has a reputation that's second to none, and it's also just a short taxi ride away from Waverley Station. Malmaison Edinburgh bides at Leith (as they say up here), just a stone's throw from the Royal Yacht Britannia, but offering far more funky luxury. Yes, when you want exciting hotels in Edinburgh, this is the King, not the castle. Our Edinburgh hotel puts you close to all of Edinburgh's cobbled splendours, incredible shopping and famous galleries. Then it's back to Mal for Scots dining with a twist, a fine selection of single malts and mojitos in the bar and then back to the slinkiest and most spectacular rooms in the Scots capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED18F - A low-angle exterior view of Greyfriars Kirk, framed by the ornate wrought iron entrance arch and pointed black railings of its historic kirkyard in Edinburgh's Old Town. The decorative gateway carries the Greyfriars name, while the broad stone frontage rises behind it, with a triangular pediment, small corner pinnacles and tall Gothic-style lancet windows. Heavy grey and white clouds fill the sky, with brighter shafts of light breaking through to create an atmospheric and brooding setting around one of the Scottish capital's best-known religious landmarks.
Greyfriars Kirk has played an important role in the religious, civic and political history of Edinburgh and Scotland. Construction began in the early seventeenth century, and the church opened in 1620 as the first new kirk built in Edinburgh after the Scottish Reformation. The site had earlier been associated with Franciscan friars, whose grey habits are reflected in the Greyfriars name. The kirk is also closely linked with the National Covenant of 1638, a defining event in Scottish religious and constitutional history.
The surrounding Greyfriars Kirkyard is one of Edinburgh's most famous burial grounds, containing old monuments, carved headstones and memorials to notable citizens. It is strongly associated with the Covenanters, the former Covenanters' Prison and the story of Greyfriars Bobby, the faithful dog traditionally said to have guarded his master's grave. The kirkyard is also a major stop on Edinburgh history, ghost and walking tours, attracting visitors interested in genealogy, architecture, religion and the darker stories of the Old Town.
Situated close to Candlemaker Row and George IV Bridge, Greyfriars Kirk forms part of the historic fabric of central Edinburgh. The upward viewpoint emphasises the entrance ironwork and church facade, while the dramatic weather, aged masonry and silhouetted railings create a strong editorial image of Scottish heritage, faith, tourism and urban history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAEHXN - . This location-based editorial photograph from Glasgow,Scotland,UK in 2019 preserves a recognisable subject together with clues about how the place was used and presented at the time. The defining feature is Doon Tae The Dancing neon sign - Down To The Dancing - pub,bar,club sign - Scots poetry. Other connected aspects include brewing heritage, licensed hospitality, visual regulation, compliance notice, documentary photography, social history, hand-pulled beer, community identity, beer festival scene, visual archive, public-facing notice, drinks hospitality, period detail, and independent brewing. Current discussion around this subject increasingly includes consumer spending alongside pub closures, with particular attention to the economics of beer festivals and licensed venues. From a 2025-onward perspective, the scene also connects with liability, customer management and the balance between access, safety and venue responsibility. As the area changes, the photograph anchors evidence of how the subject fitted into ordinary life at the recorded site in Glasgow,Scotland,UK. The surrounding context also covers beer tourism, real-ale culture, everyday life, instructional sign, behavioural signage, cask-beer tradition, public information notice, and before-and-after reference. The combination of Scots, poetry, and Dancing anchors the image to a recognisable activity, place or moment. A later view of Glasgow,Scotland,UK may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. The scene further reflects consumer spending and the economics of beer festivals and licensed venues in a form that can be compared with future views of Glasgow,Scotland,UK. Its period value extends to access rules and the role of signs in shaping behaviour without staff intervention within the real-world context of Glasgow,Scotland,UK. The view records evidence of earlier appearance for future local research.
