In the early 15th century 6000 Scottish soldiers arrived in France to support their ancient allies. Their conduct and bravery would inspire generations of French Kings to name their personal bodyguard La Garde Écossaise Du Corps Du Roi.

Produced and bottled for the Leith Export Company by G. H. Martel & Co of Epernay, La Garde Écossaise Champagne celebrates the 'Auld Alliance' between Scotland and France.
