Beer has been produced in Scotland
for approximately 5,000 years. The Celtic tradition of using bittering
herbs remained in Scotland for longer than the rest of Europe.
The two main cities of Scotland, Glasgow and Edinburgh, are where
historically the main breweries developed; and Edinburgh in particular
became a noted centre for the export of beer around the world.
Though by the end of the 20th century small breweries had sprung
up all over Scotland.
