I'm a Scot (originally from Inverness) currently studying in Liverpool (another friendly bunch are the scousers!!). I didn't realise that they didn't serve Irn Bru on tap until i moved here - i was nearly laughed out of the pub when i asked for a pint of Irn Bru!!

You may find it easier asking for a pint of Vodka, in some of the bars in Liverpool ( Scouser here BTW !)

I have not really come across irn bru on tap in most places in Scotland either tbh, perhaps Glasgow at a push.

In the central belt you get draft Irn Bru just about everywhere. I've worked in ten or so pubs in my time and all had draft Bru and diet Bru.
I can only think of Pizza Hut not having it....my daughter drinks it but I think it's vile! Love Tizer but my fave juice is Barrs limeade

Odd, I lived in 'the central belt' (sorry, hate that term!) for 29 years, perhaps I just didn't socialise in irn bru drinking circles.....

People do tend to be nice when you are giving them money....

After my second business trip North of the border in the last month, I want to say how friendly the Scots are and the landscape is amazing.?

Scotland has provided some memorable business trips, including a NHS conference where I got trollied and shared a bag of chips with the Scottish Health Minister and another where I secured a deal that hit 2 yrs worth of targets after doing a tour of the Lowlands, Highlands and Islands via the most impressive "wall of whisky" at the Creiff Hydro Hotel.
