Poundland, which recently opened in the former premises of Currys PC World on Princes Street have announced that the original recipe 1901 Irn Bru will be sold in stores across Scotland from next week.

Barr’s research and development experts have worked to “lovingly recreate” the time-old recipe using the modern equipment at Barr’s state-of-the-art factory in Cumbernauld.
