What had seemed initially like an idea that would never take flight - no doubt why the government agreed to a referendum in the first place - ended up being nail-bitingly close, with the 'Yes' campaign gathering more and more momentum as the referendum approached, and the three main party leaders looking increasingly worried, decamping to Edinburgh to give pleading speeches to convince Scottish people not to leave them. But in the end they said no, Westminster breathed a sigh of relief, Salmond resigned, and the Queen purred. Allegedly.
What has this got to do with tins? Nothing really, but I myself was north of the border over the summer, both in Edinburgh for the festival and later on visiting relatives in the Highlands, so naturally during that time I spent a while perusing various shops for local tins of interest, and came home with a couple of corkers, including this one, which even has its own smart tartan label.
