American Reacts to Amazing and Unique Facts about Scotland

- As an American I have essentially had zero exposure to Scotland, Scottish culture, and everything it has to offer. That is exactly why I am very excited today to react and take a deeper look into amazing and unique things about Scotland, from my American point of view. I believe this video will cover a wide variety of random Scottish things, which is an absolutely perfect starting place for me. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Look up the "Highland Clearances" to understand why there are so many Scottish descended people in the US and Canada.
Why? Why? Why? Do so many Americans watch a video about Scotland, made by and voiced over by an American who cannot pronounce place names or similar? The same goes for videos about Wales or England... SMH
Edit: To make the additional point... That if ANYONE is going to make a film to post on YT for the world to see, they should have it edited, checked and checked again (before posting), to ENSURE it is as factual and accurate as possible. Not to do that is pure laziness, unprofessional and is, sadly, a disservice to the viewers - SMH
Because we like to see how folk react? 😂
Lol people in UK can't say half of the names that goes for the Welsh and Scottish so it not hard to see y people can't pronounce them
like the Keltic Glasgow
I personally cringe when I hear most Americans pronounce Glasgow.
@@MrGizzmokev too right!
i am 44 years old from Glasgow, Scotland. Ive only ever worn a Kilt once, when i got married
The chamber was built at the Royal Navy base in Invergordon to store fuel oil for refuelling Naval ships during WW2.
Haggis is delicious. These days it's usually cooked in plastic instead of inside a stomach. Nothing wrong with eating offal!
When I first had it, the people I stayed with deliberately wouldn't tell me what was in it until I'd finished.
We tend to wear kilts at weddings. Bagpipes are definitely a thing in America especially with police forces. Check out US police bagpipe Washington D.C for example. The latest Batman movie was partly filmed at the Glasgow necropolis.
They celebrate st Patrick day with kilts & bagpipes despite them being Scottish 🏴 culture appropriation it’s called.
Robert Burns. I am sure you are familiar with his work although you might be unaware of this. Auld Lang Syne is a song that Burns collected and adapted in the 18th century. It is played at New Year's even in the USA. The title of John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men" is based on a line from Burns's poem "To a mouse" - The best laid plans o mice and men gang aft aglee = the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
I’ve stayed in that hotel in St Andrew’s on Burns Night. Very nice. Even the haggis. There’s a free bus that takes you to the medieval bell tower at 7 in the morning. Tip (1) you need change to get in through the turnstile. Tip (2) don’t go there at 7 in the morning by yourself because your colleagues are blind drunk and still asleep after setting the fire alarm off repeatedly during the night. And, especially with an extra large work handbag that means that when you get stuck near the top of the steps, you have to crawl back down backwards. I now have vertigo …
The train service is the 'Jacobite ' it's a daily service.
Hello from St Andrews! (the home of golf)
And haggis isn't that common, aside from maybe on burns night. It's a traditional dish that was originally made by farmers who couldn't afford to eat the nice parts of animals.
Haggis was basically just taking all the stuff a farmer could afford to make 1 filling food. It's not bad but it's got a very distinct taste.
Also the pronunciation of place names was really bad in this.
Edinburgh is pronounced
Ed-in-(bruh/Borough depending)
Ang Glasgow is pronounced
Glas-go
I have had Haggis in Scotland on several occasions as well as Black Pudding (blood pudding) at breakfast
It's not "Glass-gow", it's "GLAZ-GO"! And it's "EDIN-BUH-RUH", not "Edin-burrow"! The Americans who make these sloppy videos should listen to natives pronouncing place names first to avoid the mess they inevitably make of it otherwise. As well as these Scottish ones, classic examples of the mispronunciation of English place names include "Bucking-HAM" instead of "Bucking'm" and "York-shy-er" instead of "Yorksh'r". I believe Americans say "New Hampshire" the correct way though, so now if they will just use that as the basis for others, like Devonshire or Worcestershire ("Wooster-sh'r")...
They don't have to say it the way we do . Look how the French say London or how Germany is said by the natives there.
@@reluctantheist5224 good point, although USA and Britain speak the same language so it's not a great analogy. I'd forgive them for getting Milngavie wrong but other than that it seems a bit lazy.
@@DayVid2.0 Haha , speak the same language .... if you say so😉. What about regional dialect ? How do you say "Newcastle " for example. Do you say it with the local dialect, the way they say it , or with your accent ?
@@reluctantheist5224 I take your point but agree with @Day Vid - it's not the same thing. If you're making a video about a fellow English-speaking country then you should at least take the time to research how native speakers pronounce its place names, instead of ignorantly, arrogantly and, yes, lazily taking an uneducated stab and making a fool of yourself. Call me pedantic if you will, but I prefer to think of it as having respect for other cultures.
@@reluctantheist5224 Fortunately Americans naturally observe the Novocastrian short "a"... rather than going for an RP long one. 😄I like your thinking though, and in the end I'm not all that fussed about it, but if I were making videos about locations in America I'd be wanting to find out how locals pronounced them first, out of respect. For instance, I know that Connecticut is pronounced "Knedicut", and that Arkansas is "Arkansaw". So how hard is it for Americans to drop their imaginary "o" from Edinburgh, by just listening carefully to others first? 😀
Went to Scotland few weeks back only for two days wished I could of seen this bridge didn’t have time, but was amazing views and few places was full of Americans which I thought was brilliant as my dream is to visit USA! Scotland looks like a different planet sometimes got soaked as it rained a lot when we went. Stayed in cheap hostels want to go again but for longer!!
No mention of the deep-fried Mars Bar. Shocking.
Tyler , you continue to amaze me of the things you've never heard of , Scotch , Haggis ( yummy) Robbie Burns ( Auld lang Syne ) world famous things . Your neighbour Canada has pipe bands complete with Kilts .🇬🇧
What do you think hotdogs are made of ?
Whiskey: the oldest distillery in the UK is Bushmills in northern ireland, since 1608. Burns wrote auld lang syne which we sing on new years eve.
Started by Scot’s who moved to Ireland
Hi from Scotland
You may think Haggis is disgusting but thanks to a warring neighbour, Scottish (and Irish) people were kept poor and hungry. Whilst the wealthy could afford to live on choice cuts and throw away what they didn't like the look of, others had to make use of everything or starve. That said, haggis is amazing. We enjoy it at least every week or two with neeps and tatties.
Yes how dare the English send us all that wind and rain , not to mention turning our soils acid and building up our land so that a third of it is over 1,000 feet above sea level . At our latitude that means our farmland is wet cold , sour and storm lashed. All an English plot ah tell ye ! ( Dinna be daft ).
@@auldfouter8661 they certainly starved Scotland & sent Scot’s as slaves to the colonies.
The steam train is called the infinite it runs a daily service.
Liver and Bacon is nice... Steak and Kidney Pie is gorgeous
Apparently there’s lots of red heads in Scotland because it’s often cloudy not a lot of direct sunlight so being red head with pale skin helps to extract more vitamin d
TRUE FACTS
A true Scottsman will wears nothing under there kilts. from UK 🇬🇧👍👍
The Appalachian moonshiners are descended from Scottish and Irish immigrants who brought whiskey making with them.
Scotch Whisky is spelt without the ‘E’ with that it’s Irish Whiskey. Very important fact about Whisky 🥃
Whisky is Scottish. Whiskey is Irish (and American).
Apparently the reason for so many gingers in scotland and ireland is because gingers have the skin colour to cope with the lack of light in these cold countries. Being half scottish i have a brother and sister with red hair
I’m Scottish and went to Lexington Kentucky as part of a high school school exchange and stayed with a at Paul Lawrence Dunbar high school and I’m sure they took me to a local poor excuse of a castle
The word whisky comes from Scots Gaelic "uisge beatha" it means the "water of life"
The only thing unique about Scottish kilts compared to those worn by most cultures like Greeks, Romans etc is the colouring... It's not a unique garment and because of its simplicity it was commonplace... The Scottish didn't create the kilt, they simply embellished it and wrapped their culture around it...
Beats morris dancing any day of the week. What culture does England have.!
Loons and Quins (Kweens) frightfully fun.. ANDOR filmedbelow my first Munro. GlasGo not gower..Edin burra ..not that one.
Exactly 💯 same goes for other places in the world!
"The Loch Ness lake"
Tradtionaly Rangers are supported by Protestants and Celtic by Catholics.
With the first international football match, it will be the 150th anniversary on 12th September 2023 where Scotland and England will once again play against each other in the same town as in 1872 to commemorate it!
The USA has THREE castles and a Royal family. lol, Hawaï.
Shame they didn't mention all the Scottish inventions like telephones, television, electric clocks, penicillin, ATMs, colour photographs, refrigerators, contact lenses, MRI scanners, syringes, flushing toilets, fingerprinting, steam engines, and they were the first to clone an animal. I feel like that would've blown your mind.
Don't forget Treasure Island, Sherlock Holmes and Peter Pan... to name but a few!
@@rozhunter7645- I think you 'missed the point' perhaps? The authors of the two characters and one book title (maybe I should have said 'Long John Silver') mentioned were all Scottish. So Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and JM Barrie fit the criteria. But James Bond and Harry Potter were written by English people! (So, not Scottish).
@@stewedfishproductions7959 Though most of the Harry Potter series was written in Edinburgh and JKR has lived in Scotland for most of the last 30 years.
@@stevemichael8458 - Absolutely correct, but still doesn't 'fit' with the being Scottish... And if she (Roz) had mentioned good actors like i.e. Sean Connery, I would have agreed and thrown into the mix: Ewan McGregor, Lindsay Duncan, David McCallum, David Tennant, Robbie Coltrane or Deborah Kerr et al.
@@rozhunter7645 Harry Potter is not Scottish. J.K. Rowling is English, from Gloucestershire, born and bred. She owns her childhood home in the Forest of Dean.
Hearing Edinburgh being pronounced that way is gut wrenching.
And also Glasgow, I was looking for a cow made from glass as he said it 😬
@@helenb1374 it's unfortunate that so many videos on Scotland can't even pronounce anything right.
And the worst one are usually Edinburgh, Glasgow and Loch. Especially Loch.
And don't even get me started on the clans.
When he said Patrick instead of Partick when talking about the first football game as well 😭
Tyler you probably have sung Auld Lang Syne on New Year’s, it was written by Robert Burns. Here in Canada there is an annual Robbie Burns dinner all over. The haggis is piped in ( it’s a big deal ). My uncle never missed one. We have Scottish ancestry on my father’s side. Our clan is around the Inverness area. Also the narrator was mispronouncing a few things. Edinburgh is pronounced “ Edin….burra “ and Glasgow is pronounced “ Glaz…go “ not Glass…how..
Hi from deepest darkest Perthshire. Keep spreading the word over there. Americans struggle with pronouncing Edinburgh and Glasgow. But then most English people struggle with some of our place names. Crianlarich, Tighnabruaich and Milngavie spring to mind as ones I've heard and had to translate.
This is a lesson in how Americans mispronounce the names of every British town, city, football club , they come across!
There's haggis and there's haggis. Cooked properly it's very tasty but I have to say, it's not my favourite meal. Mostly only eat it on Burns night. Love from Scotland. Really enjoying your channel Tyler. ❤️🏴
Scotch isn't a word we use in Scotland, not even to refer to whisky. Best to avoid the word altogether. The people and things of Scotland are Scottish or Scots, never, ever scotch.
And don't mention whiskey (with an 'E') - Just saying ! LOL
100% NEVER EVER!!!!
Watched a few of Tylers videos now... I can't work out if he just somehow knows remarkably little about, well, most things, or pretends to for the sake of the videos?!
Scottish Nationalism, requiring independence from the U.K. in general and England in particular, is a living political force. The last referendum on the topic was narrowly lost, and all the poltical turmoil in the U.K. since then a has only worked to strengthen the Nationalist position. The Scottish National Party already control the devolved government of Scotland at the parliament at Holyrood in Edinburgh. (Itself reinstated after more than 300 years to try to placate the Nationalists - an idea that hasn't worked. As it says in the Declaration of Arbroath: "As long as one hundred of us remain alive, we shall never submit to English rule")
Scotland isn’t in a union with Wales or NI the treaty was between Scotland & England.
This aged like milk lmao
I was always taught that in Scotland it is whisky, whereas in Ireland it is whiskey. If that is true, then the video got it wrong - US videos get a lot of things wrong.
That is correct.
Yeah Whisky is Scottish and everything else is not even worth mentioning to be honest. All other whiskey made outside Scotland is counterfeit.
Only Americans call it Scotch to differentiate it from American whisky. Agree with an earlier comment that listening to an American talking about any aspect of the UK can be irritating as there are always mistakes and mispronunciations which then in turn teaches people the wrong thing and just reinforces those mistakes.
It was painful hearing the narrator talk about Edinburro Castle.
Dude. It's spelled Edinburgh. How can you possibly pronounce it that badly?!
@@garymcatear822 Scotch Whisky is a trademarked name in the US. Whisky is not. So anything with any other variation on the Whisky descriptor is not counterfeit. Like saying Tea is counterfeit if it's not grown in China lol
Don’t Americans learn about other countries at school? I’m 92 years old, and we learned all about the world, used to dream about all these places. I lived in east Africa for 10 years, so, I’ve seen a bit of the world.
From what I've learned watching reactions it seems clear that Americans learn almost exclusively about the United States.
They appear to get their education from U-tube
It's absolutely frightening the lack of general knowledge that an average American has.
I am fascinated by your lack of knowledge, not only about the UK, but about everything! (e.g. Archpelago) but you make up for it by willingness to learn and seek out information. It's not your fault if the US education system is crap!
Robert Burns wrote 'Auld Lang Syne' that the world sings at new years.
Oh and probably the most interesting fact about Scotland that was not even mentioned in this video is that i live there, born and bred 😃😃😃
Americans and others get over dramatic about haggis because of some of the ingredients but are happy enough to wolf down burgers and sausages which can contain a lot worse.
A typical American, if fed some 'haggis, neaps & tatties' - would just think they were just eating savoury ground lamb, rutabaga and mashed potatoes and complain it was too small a portion...
Please use our flag and not the british one
Also glasgow is pronounced Glaz-go 😭
Actually You does have castles in the US. Unfortunately they are all owned by a mouse.
The song that's sung every new years auld lang syne was written by Robert burns
Written down by, yes. It was an old folk song long before Burns' time, as he was very clear about. He made a written record of it. His publisher then printed the verses in the wrong order. And the tune we all sing it to is not the one Burns would have known.
You probably eat more parts of animals than you think... all the processed food, sausages, burgers etc...
If you want to know more about Scotland, search the following sentence. "So, what have the Scots ever done for us? Just 101 of the innovations Caledonia gave the world?" I think you'll be amazed.
It cracks me up when people gag at the thought of something cooked in a sheep's stomach. Do they know what sausage skins are made of? They take a pigs intestines, squeeze out the poop and wash them through then stuff them with meat....voila! Sausages!
Honestly I didn't need that much detail. I'm sure I knew it but had blocked the "poop" thought from my brain. 😆😆😆
I think most sausages are encased in gelatin these days. Only midly less gross, I know.
I have no idea where he's got the idea that Ben Nevis is over 10,000 Metres,it's little over 4,000 feet plus high , Mount Everest is only 8,000 plus metres high , It's the second time I've seen this 10,000 metres height asserted twice. In the last week on You Tube.
Scotland is an amazing place. Had a road trip in August. So much different to when I went back in 1997 - a lot more tourists. And the people are great and have an awesome sense of humour.
Watch Outlander and you will see how the every day kilts were worn.
Lmao or not worn
@@jennybowd2962 😂😂
Yes haggis is in a sheep's stomach. What did you think sausage skins were made of originally? And offal? What do you think they put in sausages now?
Scotland is so beautiful
If you can see it through the mist and rain.
Long live the scots
Haggis is delicious! I'm English rather than Scottish- but I still love it! It is common to eat 'organs' as well as meat muscle here. Stuffed hearts, steak and kidney pudding, liver and onions (with bacon, sometimes!). I think if you're going to eat meat, then using as much of the animal as possible is a good thing to do. No waste!
Tyler, you mention that citizens of the US are not into eating internal organs such as what is found in haggis. Actually, the US national dish, the hot dog, contains raw meat materials from various and sundry animals such as: chicken, pork, and beef. The parts used can range from lower-grade muscle trimmings, fatty tissues, head meat, animal feet, snouts, animal skin, blood, liver, heart, kidneys, and other edible slaughter by-products. Going by that, I would say haggis sounds absolutely delicious, which it is!
Thank you for taking the time to 'Like' my comment. Cheers
It amazes me that Americans think that the UK is England, yet don't think that West Virginia is the USA.
Yeah, loads of English folk use England/Britain and English/British interchangeably, but a lot of them talk about England as if it's the entire country when talking about something that affects all of Britain
@@blah......4970 English champions British English yobs
Even English people think England is GB when infact without Scotland & Wales England would be nothing.
Scots (Doric) is actually a seperate language from English. There are so many words that are in Scots that are not in English that it qualifies as its own language.
Doric isn't a language it's a dialect.
It’s only English people who claim it’s not they are very colonial about languages
12:20 erm ... the whole world wore something like this before cultures in the dry steppes in the far east, who rode on horses for war and many a reason (like mongolians and arabs, but just way earlier, think of the huns and more ancient civilizations), invented some legwear thats more practical on a saddle than an open kilt/skirt with your balls dangling everywhere, and the concept being stolen by everyone else, gradually spreading westward (well, only after antiquity since ancient greece and rome found them ridiculous, they never adopted them)
You should react to 101 facts about Scotland it's on a channel called 101 facts there is a lot more on that video lad great reaction as always😁👍🏴.
I eat Haggis once a week every week it's delicious .I also eat Black Pudding every week .You should see what Hot Dogs are made of before you turn your nose up at Haggis .
Hi Tyler, my reaction to the traditional ingredients of haggis is very much like yours, but weirdly, when all minced up together, most people regard it as surprisingly tasty! I say 'traditional', because I suspect the proportions of most of the individual offal are quite small - and it is nowadays usually encased in the same kind of material as sausages - and there's even a popular vegetarian variety! It is fairly common, either served with mashed potato and swede (usually described as "chapit tatties an' neeps") but is most often served as part of a ritual, "Burns Supper" - normally quite a formal dining event held to commemorate the birth on 25 January of Scotland's National Bard, Robert Burns (1759-1796), author of a huge number of songs, poems and ballads including 'Auld Lang Syne'. If a piper is available, it is normally carried in procession to the table and 'addressed' by the MC before being cut open and distributed. It can also be used as a stuffing (such as in Chicken Balmoral) and is usually served with Whisky sauce - and indeed, a good tot of single malt whisky, to drink! Whisky that is spelled with an e by the way: whiskey, is usually Irish rather than Scotch! There are hundreds of different types.
KIlts were the traditional garment (usually a single piece of rough woollen cloth about 8 x 6 feet) worn by highlanders - and Scottish soldiers - though read the next sentence and then consider whether it might not have been more likely that these heavy pieces of material were in fact thrown off before charging the enemy at some of those ancient battles... Rumour has it that a true Scotsman wears nothing under his kilt. See what I mean about those ancient battles - yes?? Nowadays, kilts are mostly worn at weddings, rugby internationals, ceilidhs (pronounced kay-lay), which are Scottish Country Dancing and other games and musical activity events, often held in village halls as well as in the major cities. Kilts aren't necessarily always tartan and, can indeed be acquired as part of a formal business suit - or anything you fancy, really. Scottish Country Dancing is very much a participatory event for everyone, not just couples - and there is often an MC who will explain or demonstrate the steps before each dance... Some of these can be quite energetic - and if there are a lot of unfamiliar participants, it's not unusual to see random people hurtling along at speed where they shouldn't be - and if they're also all well-oiled (as is usually the case), collisions and piles of people on the floor laughing hysterically, aren't unknown either...! (Last one I attended - with around 40 Danish nationals - on the Island of Iona ended up as absolute carnage - believe you me!! Music is normally provided by a band with fiddles (violins), piano-accordions and drums; and various local people might perform their party pieces at village hall-type events. too.
Our mountains aren't especially high by global standards but are sufficiently far north to attract sub-Arctic conditions in winter and so, they can be very dangerous places indeed, for the inexperienced climber. The feral goats of the Isle of Colonsay are believed to be descendants of those brought over from Spain as part of the historic Armada, that swum ashore from a shipwreck. Callanish does resemble Stonehenge in layout, but is much, much older - like 2000 years older... Lewisian Gneiss (which they include) is the hardest rock on the planet - and Lewis is the island that they stand upon... There are a number of other Neolithic sites in Orkney - and a unique Stone Age village known as Skara Brae was discovered in the 1950s when a storm unearthed part of the dune system that had buried it, many centuries earlier. Further research has shown it is likely to be one of many that have also been buried in that area, or possibly submerged by rising sea levels - all of which suggests that Orkney may have been a major centre of world civilisation during that period!
If you'd like to do more Scottish videos, we can certainly help you with some ideas to Google - maybe Ceilidhs, Skara Brae, Robert Burns and Scottish Country Dancing will give you a start! Take care and enjoy your weekend, my friend.
Brilliant, comprehensive comment. Thank you. Love from bonny Moray
Tyler eating organs is not disgusting (assuming they are cooked by an expert). They are amongst the most delicious and exceptionally nutritious things to eat (when cooked by an expert). Organ dishes, known as offal, can be found on the menus of most Michelin starred restaurants. Start with calves liver pan fried in butter, must not be over cooked and go from there. Eating the "whole" animal is considered very important by many Europeans as failure to do so is considered wasteful and disrespectful to the animal who died to feed you
Haggis is delicious.
It certainly is. It is odd that some people don't like the sound of eating offal but if you offered them a thick slice of a cow's backside muscle (steak) they would jump at the chance!
Yes yes it really is oh god it's yummy.
@@broadsword6650. One of the meals my mum used to make when I was a kid in late 70’s and in the 80’s was Sheep’s Liver and onions, or liver and bacon with chips/ fries
@@timglennon6814 Inspired by this, I've just made liver, kidneys, bacon, mushrooms and haggis in a tomato sauce. Yu-u-um!
Really is! Has almost a deliberately controversial reputation it seems but most are very pleasantly surprised when they try it. Quite unique!
I think the ginger gene is strong in Scotland because gingers can produce vitamin D without needing much sunlight, a vital evolutionary feature in Scotland I tell you.
All sorts of appalling pronunciation problems here. The glaring ones include the mauling of Edinburgh (say EDIN - BU - RAH) . WHISKEY , WITH AN 'E' is the Irish (and American) spelling. In Scotland we drink 'WHISKY' . OH MY GOD, the football match.... Hamilton Crescent is in GLASGOW (pronounced GLAS - GO) in the district or Partick - not PATRICK. That said, Partick did not become part of the city of Glasgow until some years after the football match was played - for the pedantic. AND Morag is a girl's name, ergo a female monster... AND the football team 'Celtic' is pronounced SELL -TICK. So many more, it is a pity that this video was not more accurately researched... As a person born bred and living in Scotland (south west, on the Clyde Coast), I almost did not recognise where I am ....
We don't call it Scotch, and the spelling of "whiskey" on the video is Irish, it's whisky.
'Whisky' not 'whiskey', no 'e', and I never heard anyone ask for scotch, or even say that word tbh. Haggis is lovely, I eat it quite often with neeps and tatties, and a little HP sauce (don't judge me lol) I believe haggis is banned in the US tho. Only worn a kilt a couple times, both times for friend/family weddings. Tried blowing the bagpipes once but sucked. No I mean I was really bad... I didn't actually suck! :p - The way the guy on the video says Glasgow, Edinburgh, especially Celtic (don't care for Glass Gow Rangers :p) and other things are kind of annoying. Maybe find facts on Scotland or other countries from someone from that country. I liked your reactions tho, so subbed :)
They left out my 2 favorite things about Scotland which is the national animal (the unicorn) seriously look it up it's 100% true, and everyone in America knows Auld Lang Syne they just don't know they know it, it's sung at midnight every new years.
“Has Scotland wanted to become independent?”
“Is that a controversy?”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Aye, it kinda is !
I can't really speak for America but where do you think all those organs go? Sure as hell they are not wasted. Perhaps you should think about that when you next eat a meat pie or product. I hope that I haven't put you off eating these for life.
The shortest flight is between WESTRAY and PAPA WESTRAY.
ARCHIPELAGO. Don't they teach Geography in America !?
WHISKEY = IRISH. WHISKY=SCOTTISH.
Each Scottish clan has it's own unique TARTAN. That's how you tell different clans apart.
You must have heard of AULD LANG SYNE which is sung on New Years Eve.? This was written by BURNS. We have a celebration of RABBIE BURNS life and works on 25th January when we eat Haggis, neeps and tatties with a wee dram of the amber fluid. His poems and songs are recited in tribute to him.
We'll call the piece of land on the coast, TYLERS WHALE, in your honour.
I'm from Peterhead ( NORTH EAST SCOTLAND) and we say LOONS ( boys)and QUINES (girls) in the DORIC dialect. My MITHER (mum) had TWA (2) LOONS and THREE QIUNES.
It's GLASGO (as in GO ), not GLASGOW ( as in COW).
GLASGOW RANGERS v GLASGOW CELTIC (SELTIC).Protestants v Catholics.

Haggis is delicious you can get a vegetarian option if you can’t face the real stuff. There are many pipe bands in the US
Haggis is like mince really. You just scrape it with your fork out of its covering. Which is really just like a sausage skin.
Look. Your referring to yourself,,,, there are several Million Americans with IRISH HERITAGE,,,, they can’t all be uneducated.
Some Americans don't think Scotland has Summer we are across the pond from New York have same weather. what they get taught there. here we know quite alot about the world. All of Places in Britain are quite similar
It really would have been nice if the narrator had done some research on pronunciation before accepting the job! 'Edinburrow" THERE IS NO SUCH PLACE! Edinburr is how it is pronounced. And as for Glazgow it's Glazgo
#21 - mislabelled as 'Scotch whiskey' - should be 'Scotch Whisky' 🙂 American Whiskey, sure - Irish Whiskey, yep - but Scotch Whisky.
The narrator's pronunciation of some words is pretty bad - the second syllable of 'Glasgow' is 'go'; doesn't rhyme with 'now'.
I wish you would take that flag of our country. We have our own flag 🏴
Scotch is whisky that's made in Scotland. Whisk"E"y is Irish and Whisky is Scottish.
This is what happens when non Scotish people try to talk about Scotland. They cannot pronounce anything. I am not Scotish but can give some of this a try to honour distant ancestors. I will try to get my facts straight. The kilt is both a clan identification, and clan identity is very important to Scots as the English tried very hard to break the clans. Secondly the traditional hunting kilt is an important piece of survival kit. Its wool with the lanolin makes the kilt water resistant. The traditional kilt can be worn in different ways as its just one really long length of wool a leather belt and sturdy pin. It can be used as a blanket. The end pulled up over the head to form a hooded shawl. You can also form part into a pack to carry. A sporan in front and knife called a dirk worn in the long socks and garters are also traditional. Hunting tartan often coloured with natural dies so camouflages against the gorse, grasses and heathers of a hillside. It allowed a Scot to live with few supplies among the mountains and elude the English troops. To execute guerilla style attacks on the English invaders. Which is one reason why the wearing of the kilt was banned for many years. Why the wearing of a kilt is an act of national pride and also defiance. So there are some who will wear it more often than this piece suggests.
Caerlaevrock , pronounced Car - lav - rock. A laevrock is a skylark. Scots whisky is spelled without an "e". The first international football match wasn't played at Patrick but Par-tick.
Interesting video although speaking as a Scot, I wish the guy doing that video actually knew how to pronounce the names of places and teams. He mispronounces Edinburgh, mispronounces Glasgow, Mispronounces Caerlaverock and mispronounces Celtic.
Tyler Scotland wanted to separate from the UK to stay in the European Union after the UK separated from the European Union with Brexit.
You say you are not familiar with the works of Robert Burns, but there are multiple references of his work which you might know; Auld Lang Syne was written by Robert Burns - taken from a Scottish folk song, 'Of Mice and Men' by American author John Steinbeck takes its title from a line of Burns' poem 'To a Mouse' - "The best-laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men gang aft agley", and the 'Catcher in the Rye' by American Author J.D. Salinger takes its name from Burns' song 'Comin Thro' the Rye'.
Another fact about him is that he has the third highest number of statues dedicated to him in the world, after Christopher Columbus and Queen Victoria, with the United States having more than any other country outside of Scotland!
Haggis, delicious! Not allowed in USA as they think its poison, I never ever heard of anyone being ill from eating haggis.
They still want independence. You saw the soccer teams of Glasgow well the blue half look at themselves more British than Scottish, Not sure about this part but the green side fans have more Irish descent and want to be away from Britain. Hence the big rivalry. Scotland is amazing place to visit. My favourite place to go. I travel all over the world but apart from America where my sister lives I travel to Scotland more than any other place sometimes more than twice a year. Oh on BAG PIPES Egypt 🇪🇬 have colour pictures painting back thousands of years of their people playing bagpipes that are the same style you see today in Scotland. Oh one of your other video’s I watched claimed Scotland as the first moving pictures and Walt Disney the first moving cartoon. Not true. When I was in Cairo museum there was a spinning top replicating a dog 🐩 chasing a rabbit 🐇 hmm guess old yeah only 3000 years so sorry Walt you where a bit slow there. Lol
I lived in Scotland for 6 years. It is a profoundly and poignantly intense and beautiful country. Not just the landscape but the people and the culture. I think its actually the landscape and the weather that have formed the people. There's something about rugged land and rainy, harsh weather that contribute to such an endearing way of life. My own background is Scottish on my dad's side and I immediately felt a warm and welcome connection.
The British government is trying to wipe out the Scottish identity.
Nothing is worn under the kilt, it's all in good working order. 😂
It would be prudent if as a content creator that he/she found out the correct pronunciations of place names. Edinburgh and Glasgow are consistently misprounced by North Americans to the point where it's embarrassing, especially as it's not difficult to actually find out the correct intonations.
Such a pity that the video was apparently produced by Americans and as such is littered with mispronunciations, incorrect facts and misinformation!
