Lees of Scotland

 * ... that the Lees Macaroon Bar was an experiment? Source: "In the grand tradition of Scottish invention he didn't give up and covered the bar in coconut as an experiment. That became the first ever Lees Macaroon and the rest is history."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Solid facts on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The reader expects a bar (this reader at least). How about an infobox, to clarify it's not a bar, and not a person? Is the "bar" vs. "Bar" inconsistency planned? Then please explain the plan ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:01, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Infobox creation makes my head hurt, Gerda. I can ask my new best friend to knock one up if he so wishes. It's "Bar" because it's part of a proper noun (cf. Mars Bar) Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)  16:08, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Why isn't it a proper noun in the whole article? RexxS help always welcome ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:23, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's what we in the trade commonly refer to as "a mistake". Fixed :-D Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:24, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
