People in Scotland's rainiest town to be offered 'rain cheques' in bid to brighten the mood
Goodies including free pints, flight vouchers and £1,885 in cash will be up for grabs in Dumfries on Friday.
People in the rainiest town in Scotland are to be offered 'rain cheques' from a special ATM in a bid to brighten the mood.
Goodies including free pints, flight vouchers and £1,885 in cash will be up for grabs in Dumfries on Friday.
Lager kings Tennent's have been dropping 'rain cheques' across Scotland and Northern Ireland this summer, lifting the mood in areas experiencing persistent rainfall.
And it's now the turn of Dumfries, which is set to see more than 11 days of rain in July and an average temperature of just 17 degrees – despite other parts of the UK basking in sunshine.
The specific location of the 'rain cheques' ATM will be revealed on Tennent's Instagram and Facebook channels towards the end of the week – but those who attend will be sure to know this is what they came for.
Senior Brand Manager for Tennent's, Joanne Motion, said:'Braving the summer is practically a national sport. As a nation, we normally just have to get on with the fact we can experience four seasons in any one day - but last year was particularly bad.
'With the lift that we all got from having such a warm and sunny spring, we thought we'd do something to offset the rubbish days this summer and bring some joy, rain or shine.'

The 'rain cheques' are part of Tennent's Braving the Summer campaign, highlighting the experience of summer for Scotland and Northern Ireland - as well as the fact that the brand has been helping the nation to 'brave the summer' since 1885, making it 140 years of Tennent's this year.
