Paisley company Buddies Gin has produced an exclusive run of 100 limited-edition bottles of gin to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Donoghue v Stevenson, which was instrumental in moulding the law of delict and the doctrine of negligence. Legal enthusiasts will be delighted to receive this very collectible, not to mention delicious tipple in their stocking. For every bottle bought, £7 will go to the Law Society of Scotland’s social mobility charity.

Hey Legal’s 2022 calendar showcases pets who have become much-loved furry co-workers for the legal profession working from home. All profits from sales of the calendar will go to the Lawscot Foundation, which was set up in 2016 to help pupils who have the drive and talent to become lawyers of the future but lack the finances to do so.

David Montgomery, director of Buddies Gin said: “We are delighted to partner with Lawscot Foundation on the launch of our new ‘Donoghue v Stevenson’ gin to commemorate the 90th anniversary of “The Snail in the bottle” legal case. Each bottle sold will include a donation to Lawscot Foundation which will support the lawyers of the future whilst celebrating an important historical legal case in our hometown of Paisley.”

Ally Thomson, Hey Legal director said: “We are delighted to partner with Lawscot Foundation for our charity calendar this year. Hopefully we can raise significant funds to help with the great work that the Foundation does to help launch new legal careers for many who may not be able to do so without support.”

Kerri Montgomery, member of the Lawscot Foundation Fundraising Committee, said: “I am delighted to be involved in these brilliant partnerships in support of the Lawscot Foundation. The Law Society of Scotland set the charity up in 2016 to level the playing field in terms of access to the profession and we have seen some truly gifted and inspirational young people start their legal educations as a result.”
