This Tesco Metro in Edinburgh is selling 'reduced to clear' bottles of 1901 Irn Bru for under £2

Forget whisky, people in Scotland take their passion for Irn Bru very, very seriously.

Not only have fans of the fiery orange soft drink considered to rescue the original recipe but many proved that they would stop at nothing to get their hands on Irn Bru 1901.

Well, it's great news for those who have yet to try it - or are already hooked on the stuff - because you can now pick up a bottle of  Irn Bru 1901 for under £2 in Tesco Metro, on Colinton Road in Bruntsfield - but you'll have to be quick.

First shared to an Edinburgh subreddit by an eagle-eyed shopper, the sought-after bottles have been been "reduced to clear".

A staff member told Edinburgh Live that there are roughly 20 75cl bottles left and now cost just £1.10 - this is a bargain considering that bottles began popping up on Ebay for around £12.99 a pop after the drink was first released.

Barr first revealed the limited edition beverage in October, made using an "Old & Unimproved" recipe from 1901, it was sourced from a handwritten book stored deep in the Barr company ’s archives for over 100 years.

Naturally, shoppers went wild when it hit the shelves in December, with people in Edinburgh struggling to hunt down a bottle and some corner shops restricting purchases to two bottles per customer - so what are you waiting for?
