Poundland on Edinburgh's Princes Street will stock the Original 1901 Irn Bru from next week

It has flown off the shelves since it was released earlier this week, with some people even listing crates of the ginger fizz on eBay, but next week Princes Street's new resident will stock Irn Bru 1901 on its shelves.

The drink retails for 2 in glass bottles

Poundland, which recently opened in the former premises of Currys PC World on Princes Street have announced that the original recipe 1901 Irn Bru will be sold in stores across Scotland from next week.

Barr’s research and development experts have worked to “lovingly recreate” the time-old recipe using the modern equipment at Barr’s state-of-the-art factory in Cumbernauld.

Poundland opened last month

The drink will cost £2 and be sold faithfully in traditional glass bottles.

The bargain shop controversially opened on Princes Street just over two weeks ago.

Others called the opening "embarrassing" and an "eyesore".

But the discount shop defended their position with an tongue-in-cheek advert on the front of their shop ahead of opening to say they were "supporting high streets while others leave."
