AG Barr said it "thinks it's time for Scotland's unicorns to finally toot their own horn", referencing the Kelpies, 30m-high equestrian steel sculptures in Falkirk.
The proposal was publicised alongside CGI artwork showing how the sculptures would look if the horns were to be installed.
Falkirk Council has been contacted for comment.
Irn-Bru has also released a limited-edition "Nessie Nectar" flavour as part of the legend editions campaign.
Kenny Nicholson, head of brand at Irn-Bru, said: 'The Kelpies are one of the most inspiring sculptures in the UK – an incredible feat of engineering and creativity – so we think they're the perfect spot to celebrate Scotland's most legendary animal.
'By crowning them with a unicorn horn every World Unicorn Day, we can help tell the story of Scotland's centuries-long love affair with the unicorn - from royal seals and ancient coins, all the way to cans of Irn-Bru Xtra's new Unicorn Tears flavour.'
"And of course, every drop of our new Irn-Bru Xtra Legend Edition is made with Unicorn Tears, freshly collected at Greetin' Acres - so now feels like the perfect time to give Scotland's unicorn the horn it deserves."
The Kelpies have also been contacted for comment.

Duolingo issues apology to JK Rowling after German lesson labelled her 'mean'
Duolingo has apologised after a user was left gobsmacked by a lesson that took aim at Harry Potter author JK Rowling. Founded in 2011, the American app offers courses on 43 languages, with customers also incentivised with points and rewards and encouraged to use it daily to maintain 'streaks' of learning. However, journalist Gaby Koppel was taken aback recently when a German lesson she was undertaking made a pointed dig at the writer, who has faced significant backlash in recent years over her views on the transgender community. The lesson involved users being presented with the question: 'Do you like books with Harry Potter as a character?' They then had to select the correct response, with the answer being: 'Yes, but in my opinion the author is mean.' Meanwhile the wrong response read: 'Yes, you're right. I'm interested in sports.' Posting a screenshot on X, she wrote: 'Shame on you @duolingo: learning German and I came across the sentence 'Yes I like Harry Potter, but the author is mean. How woke do you have to be to let #trans ideology infect a language lesson?' Koppel said she was attempting to learn German on the app when stumbling across the insult. Speaking to The Telegraph, she then slammed the app: 'It's gratuitous – how is Rowling relevant to learning German?' She added that Rowling was the 'first and only real-life person' that had been 'picked out for criticism' in the five months she had used the app. 'Not Putin, not the Ayatollahs, but somebody who happens to take a gender-critical stance,' she went on. Duolingo has an estimated 34.1 million daily active users, making it the most popular language app globally. Responding to the backlash, a spokesperson from the company said: 'We apologise for any offence caused and will remove this content from the app.' In recent years Rowling has made clear her gender critical views on social media, unapologetically sharing them frequently despite being repeatedly slammed and subjected to intense criticism from trans people and those who support their rights. Earlier this year she was slammed after celebrating the Supreme Court ruling on sex earlier this year in May. The writer posed with a cigarillo in her mouth and a drink in her hand on her yacht in the Caribbean Sea as she toasted the ruling: 'I love it when a plan comes together.' That definition means trans people can now be blocked from accessing designated single-sex spaces. Her involvement in the upcoming HBO TV adaptation of Harry Potter, on which she will serve as an executive producer, has also seen those involved come under fire. After the cast of an Audible project that involves re-recording the audiobooks was also recently announced, one of the cast members responded to the backlash. Scottish actress Michelle Gomez, who will voice Professor McGonagall, was flooded with comments on social media slamming her decision to take part. She went on to release a statement, which read: 'To my LBGBTQ+ fans, and especially the trans community: I want to speak directly to the concerns that have been raised about my involvement in this project. I hear you, and I understand why this is painful for many. I want to be clear that I stand with trans people, and I support trans rights – fully and without hesitation. 'When I accepted this role, I did so as someone who has always loved the stories and what they meant to so many – especially those who found comfort and identity in that world. More Trending 'I now understand more clearly how deeply complicated and hurtful this association can feel, and I take that seriously. Being an ally means listening even when it's uncomfortable and taking accountability when it's needed. I'm committed to doing both.' The first Harry Potter book was released in 1997, with the series eventually wrapping up in 2007. They have sold more than 600 million copies worldwide, making them the best-selling book series in history. View More » Metro has contacted Duolingo and representatives for JK Rowling for comment.

Duolingo has to say sorry after getting locked in a trans row and criticising 'mean' JK Rowling in German lesson
Language-teaching app Duolingo has apologised after JK Rowling was described as 'mean' in one of its language classes. The platform has been accused of letting gender ideology 'infect' its translation exercises in a German lesson. 'Do you like books with Harry Potter as a character?', was one of the questions users had to select the correct response for. Written in German, the correct answer was: 'Yes, but in my opinion the author is mean.' While the wrong response said: 'Yes, you're right. I'm interested in sports.' Journalist Gaby Koppel said she was trying to learn German on the app when she unexpectedly discovered the insult. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), she wrote: 'Shame on you @duolingo: learning German and I came across the sentence "Yes I like Harry Potter but the author is mean". 'How woke do you have to be to let #trans ideology infect a language lesson?' Speaking to the Telegraph, Ms Koppel said: 'It's gratuitous – how is Rowling relevant to learning German?' She added that the Harry Potter author was the 'first and only real life person' that had been 'picked out for criticism' in the five months she had used the app. 'Not Putin, not the Ayatollahs, but somebody who happens to take a gender-critical stance,' she said. According to company figures, Duolingo has 34.1 million daily active users, making it the most popular language app in the world. A Duolingo spokesman said: 'We apologise for any offence caused and will remove this content from the app.' It comes after JK Rowling backed writer John Boyne and branded his trans critics 'tinpot tyrants' after an annual LGBT literary prize was axed due to backlash over his nomination. Mr Boyne, 54, who is best known for writing The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, made the longlist for the Polari Prize this month for his book Earth. However, his nomination prompted more than 10 out of the 24 authors who had made the longlist to ask to be removed from the running due to Mr Boyne's gender-critical beliefs. On X, JK Rowling replied to an article her fellow under-fire author wrote today about the ordeal Over 800 writers, editors, publishers and booksellers signed a joint author statement objecting to Mr Boyne's nomination. On X, JK Rowling replied to an article her fellow under-fire author wrote today about the ordeal. Backing Mr Boyne, she said: 'This makes me both sad and angry. An incredibly talented writer and a thoroughly decent human being (the two are by no means synonymous, as we know) traduced by tinpot tyrants without an ounce of his talent or integrity.' On Wednesday, Nicola Sturgeon called for JK Rowling to face 'more scrutiny' over her stance on trans issues. JK Rowling penned a scathing review of Nicola Sturgeon's hotly anticipated memoirs on the day it was officially launched last week. The billionaire author, who famously wore a t-shirt labelling the former first minister a 'destroyer of women's rights', posted the expletive-riddled assessment of 'Frankly' on her website The women's right campaigner wrote: 'She remains stubbornly wedded to her belief that it is possible to let some men into women's spaces on the men's say so, without letting any man who fancies it come inside. 'She denies there are any risks to a policy of gender self-identification. She can't imagine any male predator capitalising on such policies, in spite of the fact that it has, demonstrably, happened many times. 'She is flat out Trumpian in her shameless denial of reality and hard facts.' In an interview with BBC's Newscast to promote the book, Ms Sturgeon responded by saying the post made her feel 'more at risk of possible physical harm'. She told BBC Radio Ulster: 'JK Rowling is absolutely entitled to her view, maybe putting herself up for a bit more scrutiny about her view would be helpful, but I don't criticise her for expressing her view.' JK Rowling has been approached by the Daily Mail for comment.

Nicola Sturgeon hails JK Rowling amid 'complete f**kwit' trans row jibe
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NICOLA Sturgeon insists she still admires JK Rowling and buys her books - despite the Harry Potter author branding her 'a complete f**kwit'. The ex-first minister fired back in the war of words between the pair and called for the billionaire writer to face 'more scrutiny' over her stance on trans issues. Sign up for the Politics newsletter Sign up 3 Nicola Sturgeon admitted she still admires JK Rowling Credit: Alamy 3 The author penned a foul-mouthed review of Ms Sturgeon's new book Credit: PA 3 The former FM admitted still buying Harry Potter books despite her war of words with the author Credit: Getty Ms Rowling was a vocal critic of the gender recognition reforms championed by Ms Sturgeon and famously donned a t-shirt which branded the SNP MSP a 'destroyer of women's rights'. In her new autobiography, Ms Sturgeon said the stunt led to a surge of 'vile' abuse against her and made her feel 'more at risk' of physical harm. And in an interview with BBC Radio Ulster, Ms Sturgeon said: 'I have bought Harry Potter books for all of the kids in my life and I will continue to do so as long as they want to read them. 'I think she is an amazing talent and has done great things.' She added that Ms Rowling is 'absolutely entitled to speak her mind' but added: 'I don't admire the way some people have gone from speaking their minds on this issue to, almost it seems, to be punching down on trans people who have never harmed anybody at any point in their life. 'JK Rowling is absolutely entitled to her view, maybe putting herself up for a bit more scrutiny about her view would be helpful, but I don't criticise her for expressing her view. 'But I think I would like to see a bit less punching down on trans people to be perfectly frank.' In a scathing review of Ms Sturgeon's book, Frankly, the Harry Potter author slammed her for not addressing a string of scandals during her time leading the country including the delayed ferry scandal, deleted covid WhatsApp messages, drug deaths and education failings. But and her turned on her for the disastrous handling of the Isla Bryson saga when Ms Sturgeon was unable to say is the trans rapist - born male - was a man or a woman. Ms Rowling wrote: 'When asked on television whether bald, blonde wig-wearing Bryson was a man or a woman, the First Minister, whose composure and articulacy under fire had, for years, been her most potent political asset, made herself look – and forgive me for employing a PR term here – a complete f***wit.' Five of the biggest BOMBSHELL moments from Nicola Sturgeon's new memoir But Ms Sturgeon told BBC Radio Ulster's Nolan Show that she 'wasn't destroying women's rights', and added: 'Is it really the best way to elevate a debate, put a picture of yourself in a T-shirt with something like that? That is the point I am making.' Ms Sturgeon sparked fury when Holyrood debated proposals for her government to make it easier for trans people to legally change their gender - without any legal or medical certificates. The Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill was passed by Holyrood but it was blocked by Westminster, with the changes never coming into force.
