Founded in 1903
Founded by the Robb family in 1903, Bon Accord's Juice Lorries were a ubiquitous sight across Scotland for a century, ranging from Glasgow, through the central belt to Aberdeen and Inverness.
Packed full of classic drinks such as our Pineapplade, Red Cola and more, Bon Accord juices were a sweet summer treat enjoyed throughout the year.
Revitalised in 2016
After a short hiatus, Bon Accord was revitalised by Karen Knowles, the (great-great) grand-daughter of the founding Robb family, and long-time friend, Nathan Burrough.
From our original space in Sighthill, Edinburgh, the new Bon Accord focused on 3 core principles:
Naturally flavoured.
Naturally sweetened.
Naturally Scottish.
Rhubarb Soda
Crisp and refreshing, think rhubarb and custard sweeties without any bad stuff. It's a bestseller for a reason!
Pink Grapefruit Soda
Our juicy mix of grapefruit, apple and pear is bright and tangy to start and the flavour rounds off perfectly in a naturally sweet finish.
Bona-Cola
With zero artificial sweeteners and 100% natural flavours, Bona-Cola has depth, character and a familiar but unrivalled Cola zing that lingers on the lips for longer.
Cloudy Lemonade
Tangy and tart with a zesty zing (exactly how lemonade should taste) our Cloudy Lemonade has all the hallmarks of a clear classic.
Ginger Beer
In favour of flavour and free from compromises, the ginger tingle builds without overwhelming, set off perfectly with all-natural ingredients.
Stronger together
In 2025, after a decade of growth, Bon Accord merged with 71 Brewing to expand our production capabilities and roll out a new product line of canned soft drinks.
Our new larger company is now better insulated against market forces, and has allowed us to prototype new drinks in-house and offer new exciting flavours for our 10 year anniversary, and to keep making our soft drinks without compromise.
Even in our new format rest easy knowing you're getting the same Bon Accord that has treated Scotland for over 100 years.
