It has been a source of frustration for many Scots over the years.

Legal tender. 

Whether it’s in a pub, taxi, restaurant or shop, Scots don’t like having their hard earned cash snubbed down south.

On Saturday, Tennent’s Lager is serving up a bit of light relief for anyone who has suffered the (temporary) humiliation of having their money refused in England.

The Glasgow brewer has just launched its new campaign ‘Here to Serve’, which will see Tennent’s go above and beyond for the people of Scotland.

As the nation’s longest established brewer, Tennent’s has been serving the Scots longer than any other beer brand, and Here to Serve is a commitment to continue that service for years to come.

As its first public service, Tennent’s will be giving English football fans a little taste of what Scots can be faced with when they try and get a round in south of the border.

On the day of the Scotland vs England World Cup qualifier, Tennent’s will have a Currency Exchange operating on Buchanan Street and outside Hampden Park.

Any English fans who don’t want to run the risk of having their notes refused in Glasgow pubs can come and change them.

The Herald:

The exchange will be live on Buchanan Street on Saturday from 9am-1pm and outside Hampden Park from 3pm-5pm.

Vouchers for a free taste of Scotland’s favourite lager will also be available over the course of the day so both sets of fans can raise a glass regardless of the result.

There’s plenty more ‘Here to Serve’ activity for punters to look forward to in the pub, supermarket, online and in cities across Scotland this summer.

Alan McGarrie, Head of UK Brand Marketing at Tennent’s, said: “Our new campaign is all about providing a service to Scots, so we thought the match against England was the perfect opportunity for us to serve up a bit of banter and level the playing field.

"We couldn’t think of a better way to do that than by playing off the long running joke around legal tender."
