Glasgow Bar To Accept Scotcoin For Beer Starting Today

According to a latest report from Herald Scotland, a Glasgow-based pub, the Arlington, is to begin accepting the digital currency Scotcoin for its beer from its customers. It is believed to be the first pub in Scotland to allow its customers pay in the cryptocurrency.

The offer which starts today is only open to its Stone of Destiny lager, the news source added. The Arlington, which first opened in 1860, claims to have the original Stone of Destiny, which officially lies in Edinburgh Castle.

The students who stole the lager from Westminster Abbey celebrated at the pub. Reports suggest they returned a fake and hid the real thing in the bar.

The pub's Kenny Low told Herald Scotland that his business would neither buy any of its supplies nor pay its workers in Scotcoin, which now uses a blockchain through another digital currency, Bitcoin, to prevent inflation.

Mr Low said, "We just want to encourage Scotcoin”, and added that the bar was not stuck in a time warp and had embraced "the ever changing world”.
