Why dont all us lovely Scottish people who live in dreary London, get together and inject some life into the place eh?! This is what made this advert great, that it reminds us who we really are and what is unique about Scotland. My English girlfriend loves Scotland, I think more than me. She would move up there in a flash. Alba Gu Brach..

LOVED this ad when it was on the TV, and the song is amazing. Probably one of the most nostalgic ads I remember from my teens. The song itself got me through 5 homesick years in Ireland. OK, it's not all that far away but it's not Scotland, and the lager..eww?!?!? Every time I came home I had a craving for a nice cold pint of T. IIRC Tennents had a lot of very good ads, including a few for Tennents Special "Mind ye don't drop yer kegs Willie. "Very funny, cha cha cha"

Speaking as a pissed off Scot in a City job in London, this is a real advert for our times. Lovely to know it's waiting just up the road.

That's settled it. I'm calling the removal men in the morning :) I've been in London for 10 years. Watched this advert tonight, and it's really struck a chord. The people here are still miserable and unhelpful. Was back in Glasgow 2 weeks ago, drinking an ice cold T...English bitter and french lager just isn't the same.

Brilliant! Been looking out for this appearing on Youtube since Youtube was launched. It's been great to have the full Frankie Miller video on here but I've been telling my Aussie wife about this for years... Both me and my best mate from school now live in Oz and we always play a bit of Frankie before we head home for a trip. Nothing like a bit of teary-eyed nostalgia to get you in the mood for going home :) Thanks Tennents, many companies could do well to follow your example. Cheers!
