Mensaje de Kieran - Exploring Scotland

"The Pineapple House" tells the fascinating story of how pineapples became a symbol of wealth and status in Britain for over 250 years. From being paraded at lavish social gatherings to being rented out for special events, these exotic fruits were once worth a fortune. However, as importation became more common and prices dropped, the pineapple's elite status faded.

Who knew a fruit could have such a juicy history?
