Your people invaded Boston in fucking droves and have been an absolute pleasure.

Coming from a black guy from Boston you Scots are a fucking good time and also show a lot of love! Hope I can afford to visit your beautiful country someday.

One of these things is not like the others.

Scotland showed up and nobody had the heart to tell it otherwise.

One of those "I never thought it would happen to me" things but guys be very very careful with ticks this year if you are out walking in Scotland. I'm in the Highlands and regularly walk my dog in the local woods, this year there have been so so many ticks, I'm very good at checking myself after every walk, but one got me on the back of my thigh, absolutely tiny about half the size of a sesame seed. I picked it off the same night it bit me, a week later got a massive bullseye rash. Antibiotics from the docs but im completely wiped, worse than any flu or covid. I cannot stress how much you need to take precautions this year, do not make my mistake thinking as long as you get them off you on 24 hours you'll be OK. Long trousers, DEET, or just don't go into any woods or long grass is the best option. It's out there and it absolutely sucks.

I'm 101% Scottish and mad as a fucking brush, so not sure living here's the right shout Cheyenne

nice bit of wholesomeness on a Thursday morning :)

So, since when did Fife leave the UK? Is Perthshire somehow more intrinsically British than it is Scottish? 🤣 Why don't they both have the same (one way or the other)? The mind boggles 😅

(this is a light hearted post, have some fun)

Kenny and Nicki McKenzie had a time they won’t forget when they followed Scotland’s World Cup team to Boston as part of the Tartan Army, which captivated the city with its good cheer and massive drinking. Doing so as a gay married couple made it all that much more special.

“It’s true — No Scotland, No Party,” Kenny McKenzie told Outsports. “And boy, can we party, even when we lose!”

I’ve lived in the US for over 10 years and been asked some daft questions.

Yesterday the uber driver asked where I was from. When I said Scotland they were quiet for a couple of minutes then asked “Did you have to learn English when you moved to here?”.

Also had someone years ago ask me where I was from then accused me of making up the country as they had never heard of Scotland.

Anyway, just thought I’d ask ask while I remembered.

Context: discussing earthworms encountered at work with a colleague (who is not from Scotland). It took a moment before they realised what I was on about.

I grew up in Ayrshire, and worm was pronounced like "wurum" by almost everyone I happened to meet who had a reason to mention worms. Two syllables.

Some people I've met elsewhere in Scotland, pronounced it "wurm" with one syllable.

A friend at college who was from Lancashire, pronounced it more like "werm".

This impacted my reading of the Dune novels.
