Giddy up.These are generally referred to as English ale bottles. I think the unmarked ones are generally thought to have contained beer rather than ginger beer. Yours is marked Portobello, a neighbourhood in Edinburgh.
Giddy up, I have a couple plain ones do people collect them.This is an ale bottle, made in Scotland, and imported to the USA filled with ale.
Portobello is a coastal suburb of Edinburgh in eastern central Scotland. It lies 3 miles (5 km) east of the city center, facing the Firth of Forth.
These ale bottles were imported in vast numbers, so they are pretty common. I think I have one in a pint size that I brought back from Guyana just 'cause I hadn't seen that size before (the one on the right).
