Turn the bottle upside down to discover the world’s first ammonite base. Legend has it that St Hilda, the pioneering abbess of Whitby Abbey during the 7th Century, chased a plague of snakes away from the town. In her righteous rage, she removed their heads and turned the snakes into stone. The ammonite has since become a symbol of the town. #coastalspirit #whitbygin #beachtobatch #beautifulbottle
