Black Dog- From Scotland, With Love

In our previous blog, we spoke of Scotland and her traditions, but today we are going to talk about the various things Scotland gifted the world with, and how they got assimilated into the Indian cultural sphere. Most of them, as we know, have been introduced by the British, during their rule.

Golf- No introduction is needed for this sport, which developed in Scotland in the 15^th century. This sport is now played all over the world. In India too, it is a favourite among the elite and the affluent. In fact, the oldest golf club outside the UK is situated in Kolkata!

Bagpipes- Everyone is familiar with this unique musical instrument, thanks to its melodious sound, which takes us on a mental voyage to the scenic Highlands, and the lush green Lowlands of Scotland. The instrument has not been used all that much in commercial Indian music. However, it continues to occupy a very important place in the Indian Army Band.

Scotch whisky- This is definitely the most significant gift of Scotland to India. Earlier we mentioned how India is one of the biggest markets for scotch whisky. Each day, more and more Indians are developing a taste for this wonderful liquor.

Out of the popular international scotch brands, Black Dog has truly made its mark in this country. Black Dog is made up of the best and the finest of whiskies manufactured all over Scotland, which are then blended in ideal proportions and aged for a certain period. No doubt, a party is incomplete without one’s share of Black Dog!
