@@davewilliams7515 What's wrong with moving away from Scotland but still being proud to be a Scot? Sometimes life (and love) decide where we live. Maybe you're too young ?
Me too. I´m a Glaswegian who has been living in Colombia for 18 years. The Scots are magic, and the accent is music to my ears. The weather's a wee bit better here, though. :-)
You are totally right, the further north to travel in the UK the more friendly people become. I was born in Cumbria and grew up in Lancashire. I moved to Cambridge for work and people down here are definitely not as friendly. If you try and spark up a friendly conversation with someone in the grocery queue in London, they will look at you like you insulted their mother. Do the same in Scotland and they'll speak to you like they've known you all your life and you'll probably have a new friend.
There's a video where this man was drunk at a party went out for a cig and went back in the wrong house and fell asleep. Luckily the strangers gave him a cig and a brew lol. He helped himself to a pot noodle and kipped on the couch. There's a video on here.
When I was kid and would go out in chilly weather in shorts, adults would ask if I wanted to put pants on and I'd respond that "my legs don't get cold." 😆
Man I’ve lived in London for almost 15 years and seeing people this friendly in Scotland took me by surprise. People in London are extremely rude and aggressive most of the time. I haven’t travelled enough I’d say in the UK but will definitely go and see different places soon. Great video.
There are no Londoners left in London, but they used to be very friendly. If you went to a market the cockney men would call ever woman they served love or darling. But this was frowned upon by the newcomers and there are now no cockney left there. Though to be fair all large cities are unfriendly places, my wife is from Paris and it's the same there. Though as soon as you go out into the countryside people are much more friendly whatever country you are in, it's a city thing.
@@fatimadarwish-gv2er Glasgow has actually quite a small population compared to London and smaller more homogenous Cities like Glasgow with a population of around 630,000, are definately more friendly. I noticed a similar friendliness in Manchester, which has a similar sized populatio to Glasgow. However the population of London is now around 10million with a Muslim Mayor and over 300 different languages spoken. It's no longer an English city and is very violent and unfriendly.
I love Scotland, it blew my mind that Scotland only has a population of around 5 million, but yet they have so much culture and heritage, really love to visit scotland again
It's an inbuilt defence mechanism, when it's either too cold or too wet to go outside you become highly educated in order to move somewhere warmer and drier, then frequently tell everyone how much you miss it and there's no place like it...🤣
@@ivartheboneless5969 Racists say that. The reality is it has a lot of culture but there is an obvious agenda to destroy it, and part of being able to do that is to deny that it actually exists.
I'm sure theres plenty of great people, and I've never been myself so I wouldn't know, but err not really heard it referred to as friendly and beautiful lol
(American here) I spent a week in Glasgow maybe 15 years ago, and was floored by how friendly the people were - even though I could only understand them half the time haha. It's so true how no one even bothers with an umbrella - it rains so much they are just immune as that one person said. My host told me only tourists really use them 🤣I travelled a bit around the UK including London and I have to say Glasgow might not have been the "hippest" or most cosmo city I visited, but it was by far the friendliest! Very well kept too, I'd love to go back.
Went to Scotland at 2018. And it had caught me by surprise. Stunning and amazing country. I had the experience about travelling through some European countries and the countries themselves were beautiful and vivid, but the population… However Scottish people turned my experience into a magical one. They were even more friendly than Brazilians, actually. The best part of Scotland is the Scottish people. Edinburgh and Glasgow are two must destinations for those who visit the UK.
Sounds like folks in east maritimes of Canada or 东北人in China. Some people may think they are rude at first sight but deep down they are super friendly and fun to hang out with
I was born in the slums of Glasgow, 1948, left in 1966, and many decades later I went back to Glasgow, 1988, with my wife from California and I was her translator as she understood nothing any of my family said to her but they all loved her because they thought I had married a Movie Star because she came from Los Angeles though we lived in San Francisco... I started back into the dialect after being there for a week. You can take the boy out of the slums, but you have to take the slums out of the boy. We say what we mean and we mean what we say... Direct... Och yerbumsootraewindae..... sort that one out mate.
I was born in a muddy village at the edge of a desert, left the place long ago and there's no single night my heart long to go back and settle their with my people where we have our own accent, rules and culture. You can leave the place of your origin but you it never leaves your heart, like never.
As a foreigner, after 1 year of studying in England for my Masters degree I thought I was able to speak and understand English fairly decently.....until I went to Inverness.....and then I understood why Italians use their hands when they speak, so I took after them and I used my hands to the fullest extent in an attempt to get my messages across when speaking to locals...the funny thing is that I did not need that, as they understood me; it was me who didn't understand them, but when you don't understand what other people say, you tend to think that they don't understand you either......Scottish people are as lovely as it gets, but as a foreigner you need a "black belt" in English to be able to speak with them and understand half of what they are saying; the other half is local slang which you either need to be there for some time to pick it or you simply won't get it. Also being able to be subjected to banter and drink like a maniac are what you need. No Masters degree required ! 😁
@@mihailfelixdumitresc The mistake you (and many others) make is in thinking that what you get to hear in Scotland is English. Even in Inverness, which is a place where people only started learning English as a second language in the late 19th century, half of what you are hearing is not English. It will be Scots - not "local slang", but a sister language to English that has 1000 years of developing differently and has different linguistic origins. It's like having learned Standard Spanish and then expecting to understand everything in Portugal or in Italy.
@@mihailfelixdumitresc : Visit Alabama or Mississippi, Georgia or Texas if you want to hear another version of spoken English. Im Scottish and I have a hard time understanding them.
University of Glasgow, my alma mater. The best years of my life were at uni. Just noticed the Ubiquitous Chip and Jinty McGuinty's is still open! We used to go there with my pals, and this was the late 90's!
苏格兰人真的超友善热情，在乡村地区更明显，我出去骑行，一路都被人打招呼，感觉超级亲切~~有次大雪天到格拉，下飞机的时候坐旁边的女士一句Welcome Home 直接把我暖到了...... 最好玩的一次是我们在一个山区的小镇闲逛，偶遇一位苏格兰老先生，问了个路，完事他居然直接把他刚刚在超市买来准备带回家的鲜花送给我爱人，然后我们就捧着那束花一路hiking下去了👻👻
What I love about this is that when they translate the slang into what is supposed to be a common word, the common word is also slang to you 😂 like “steamin” to “boozin”, or “lump ah wood” to “no very bright” lol
I'm from Spain but lived in Scotland for 7 years. The happy friendly people is more a Glasgow thing than Scottish thing I would say. Scottish people are very friendly in general but Glasgow has a special positive energy. Edinburgh is the posh city, one of the most beutiful cities I've seen. Aberdeen is my favourite as it was my first destination and home for the first few years.
Glasgow - the only city in the world where the same person who stabs and mugs you calls you an ambulance ❤ One of the friendliest cities going but still has high crime 😅 Aye, I'm from Glasgow!!!
Idk I’d say the friendliness is a Scottish thing in general, not just a Glasgow thing. The only place I’d say that isn’t quite as outgoing and sociable is Edinburgh in my experience and maybe Aberdeen but I’ve never been, just met people from there. Everywhere else people are extremely nice though.
Glad you had a great time! It's always interesting to see how our culture is viewed and appreciated from another perspective, Hope the rest of your visit here in Scotland is just as lovely :)
My wife and I were in Scotland over 30 years ago. I still have the fondest memories of the people and culture of Edinburgh, Inverness, and especially Glasgow. Some day we'll return.
Went to Scotland many years ago for my Master's degree. People there are so lovely and pationated as you mentioned. And really it took me 6 month to understand one of my classmates' English for around 50%....haha
I come from a town near Glasgow and I can say the best part of uni was meeting people from every corner of the globe, it was the most incredible experience.
Aww this makes me so happy and beaming inside! ☺ I'm so proud to be Scottish and a weegie from Glasgow! This is the first video I've ever watched of yours and the title actually caught my eye. I now live and work in Hong Kong and it's so nice to be reminded of my roots. Glasgow is the best but so is Hong Kong too for different reasons.
As someone born and bred in Glasgow of many generations I am floored by this wonderful video and all the kind comments. Really, honestly, heartfelt thanks,
I'm an American with some Scottish ancestry. I visited Scotland for 12 days in 2006, and it was so beautiful. Great people. They know how to live,... and have contributed much to modern civilization as well.
Studied in Glasgow 10 years ago. Always wanted to go back to visit. Just one year is enough to make me feel it's my second hometown. That's how nice it was for me.
Gotta say I'm impressed by how they still preserve their strong accent.... part of their heritage that they are very proud of!! To a much lesser extent, ppl in HK also preserve their way of speaking English... can't suddenly expect them to speak like the British/Americans if they don't have that exposure or opportunity
This actually isn’t shocking at all in the context of Britain Note how US accents, Australian accents, Canadian accents etc. will differ between several states, but England alone has accents differing per county. This is because of the historical context; it was not the “Anglo-Saxons” who settled, but instead it was similar to the rest of Europe in which everyone was scattered following the fall of Western Rome. These tribes and clans held their own territories, but most interestingly, they never changed drastically at all, likely due to being an island. The other countries I mentioned above however, had very consistent settlement by Englishmen as the majority, so instead of a bunch of foreigners learning to speak with eachother, they were just Anglos abroad. A great example is Newcastle, Geordies use Scandinavian words, and for context, this means that Newcastle’s accent has been present before England even united as a country in 927, stemming from around 867 during the Viking invasions.
Funny, I'm a Scottish lady who has been living in Hong Kong for 20 years & right now I just got a wee bit homesick for Scotland! 😅& yeah, I won't use an umbrella in Hong Kong unless the rain is quite heavy 😂 I get some funny looks, it's just the Scot in me! If you hit the East coast, it's much less rainy!
@@woshisuo I know some Cantonese, enough to manage simple everyday things. I get better when I practice but lots of HK friends & collegues will just speak to me in English so I get lazy. I have a few European friends who are fluent in Canto!
Bro, you wondered round my home city. I can factually confirm all of what my fellow "weegies" telt you was all absolutely correct. Albeit, the turn of phrase we use is sooooo much more diverse and creative than one could hope to learn on holiday. But I definitely enjoyed how you seemed to have such a great time in Glasgow. Love from Scotland 🏴 👊🏼
My partner is Scottish, but he came here in Australia when he was 13 years old. Hearing him talk to his parents in their accent is mind-blowing. I love their accent, the way they talk, and their English terms.
The more I watched this video the more similarities I found between Scotland and Mexico. Friendly people, they like to hang out and drink, No ID's required. I was 16 the first time I went to a night club here in Morelia, Mexico. Warm regards to Scottish people.
I’m from the U.S. and I just love their accents. I have a southern American accent. People have a hard time with our accent too, but we sound far less eloquent 😂
may i tell you something so that you appreciate your southern accent more ...now dont get me wrong depending on what type of southern accent you have you might not sound as poetic as you might in another type of southern accent ..but its subjective anyways how you hear an accent it all depends on wether you associate the accent with somethig you veiw as prestigous or exotic or rustic or noble endjucated or lower class ...and its sad because your missing out i for example have a lower class english accent and americans labour under the delusion im speaking the kings ...and i know some highly articuate americans southern old boys with such textured southern accents who sound ever so eloquent...americans seem to be incapable of hearing accents from england scotland wales ireland or northern ireland without associating something incredibly exotic sophisticated and noble with it even if one sounds like one comes from a sink estate and even if they do think you sound like a british alleycat they still think it sounds ever so quaint and somehow cleverer then someone from detroit ...dont get me wrong its no skin off of my back its comforting to know if im ever hard up on postive attention i can fly to the statse one really feels like a lowkey celebrity in america with a british accent ..but it does show how insular and detached american culture is from europe and the uk and ireland ...
Some of these people on the video are using slang words ,if they used the proper word and spoke slower , may be they would be understood a lot better .
My dad is from Glasgow. How blessed I have been to visit several times to see my wonderful Scottish cousins, aunt and uncle and more distant cousins. If it wasn’t so grey, I’d already have moved there
Actually the Scottish is not only friendly, but also diligent and practical in workplace ( Englishmen always work in free style ) cos I had met a teacher from Scotland before.
@Michael Doolan nope. Not since 1960s have stabbings been common. And even then it tended to be Glasgow. And usually gang related. There was a Criminal Code of Conduct that innocents didn't get caught up. As to English... If you watch Scottish TV News items half the folk being interviewed are English people wanting to get out of the rat race. Maybe it was just you.
Amazingly I enjoyed this and I'm from Edinburgh - fair play to all the weegies involved in this, ye dun yersel's and the country proud !. P.s Torres - just a small point, in Scotland it's 'Whisky' - 'whiskey' is the Irish stuff !
Nice to see Glasgow presented positively. I grew up in Glasgow so it was a clear as mud. Much of it it never heard before. Things change with time. I’ve always found it a friendly place. With lots of humour.
Definitely, I will visit Scotland because of this video. I just got this good vibe about the Scottish. Anytime is best time to drink! Yeah baby! Life is beautiful.
Omg 😂😂😂 this is so hilarious watching the video as a Glasgow born chinese! It’s brought me so much joy hearing some of the slang and how awesome we weegies are! We really are the best lol! I found it really strange moving to Aberdeen from Glasgow and how people just couldn’t wrap their heads that I was from Glasgow but also am chinese too! It was really funny…I used to say to Aberdeen people ‘yeah there’s lots of us type of folk in Glasgow!’ All in good humour
I saw a woman in a Chinese buffet in Dundee asking the manager in a slow and condesending manner "So, how long have you been in Scotland?". The guy just went "Am fae Glesgae hen!" Nearly pee'd myself.
@@vandamme6379 I used to own a restaurant in north of Scotland and I took a couple over to a table…asked him what he’d like to order and he goes ‘eh…can you read this? Pointing to the menu?’ It was in plain English and I’m f*****g speaking English to the twat…needless to say I had to say something similar to are you also illiterate ya knob? Yes I’m Scottish born Chinese but I can read…honestly the ignorance blows me away.
@@vandamme6379 I had this problem when I moved to Aberdeen from Glasgow (I’m Glasgow born Chinese) and anytime I spoke out aloud it was a double take cos the Chinese look and the Glasgow accent didn’t go together….I just said yeah there’s lots of us kind down in Glasgow you should go visit the place. It was all in jest and usually friendly but you do get a few twots being ignorant. Albeit I did almost jump into a fight with a bloke who asked me if I was bringing another chinaman into the country when I was 8 months pregnant….my real Glasgow Ned came flying out and my husband had to hold me down from flying into this idiot…looking back it was funny cos here you got a chinese pregnant lady about to fly for the guy being held back by said husband
@@scotttait2197they're absolutely a weegie. An ethnically Chinese person born/raised in Scotland is more Scottish than an ethnically Scottish person born/raised in another country. Wouldn't you say?
Aw, I'm so glad you loved Glasgow. We really do have a lot of slang for going drinking / getting drunk / being drunk. 😆 To be fair, Glaswegian is a dialect that's somewhere between English and Scots, so challenging for even native English speakers sometimes.
@Tamara Samaniego If you call a company in the UK especially banks its usually a Glaswegian womans voice they use for the automatic hello/options etc before you get through to a staff member. Even then chances are the staff member is in Glasgow alot of call centres here. I used to work for a mobile phone operator and when the iPhone first launched it was only available from one company ( ours ) and Apple wanted all iPhone calls to go through Glasgow. Supposedly it's the most trust worthy and authoritive accent in the UK, obviously we don't use slang but lol
Lols welcome to Scotland, my home town! Watch u guys all the time! U guys are a great couple! Scottish people are amazing and friendliest of all! Enjoy the whisky!
I got a chance to learn a wee bit of the Scottish culture through a friend. He's a Scotsman who got married to a Mexican woman. He came to Mexico, we became friends and we would get steaming at least three times a week. Good times, Stevie, good times, mate!
I agree: the further north you go in Britain, the warmer people are. The people in the south aren't bad, they're just more private, less expressive, generally speaking. London is a case all its own. I've met lots of wonderful, friendly people in England (and I have beloved relatives there) and the warmest people I met were from Sunderland.
What a great video full of respect to Scottish people. Spent some time working in Aberdeen, visited Edinburgh. Great people, still have many friends!! Aaaaaaand... lady saying that Aberdonians have less strong accent - NOPE )))
The phrase origin “steaming” was from when alcohol was banned. Except you could drink on steamboats. So people would do just that hence the phrase. Glad you had fun in Glasgow. I hold it dear to my heart.
@@gingerfellah5665 no they travelled along the rivers to the resorts on steamboats. Alcohol wasn't banned, just restricted to certain times and days. Day trips for the working class were a thing, charabancs, but that wasn't holidays. Workers got decent hols. Glesga Fair, onywan?
AWWW people are so friendly here !!!! My roomate is an international student from Scotland and he told me that I should visit Scotland with him someday! Totally want to do it
I live in the far south west of England, my best friend when I was 4 in 1983 was a Scottish kid called John who moved here when he was 2, he just sounded like me, but his mum had and still has THE deepest Scottish accent I've ever heard. The reason I can understand even the deepest Scottish accent to this day is because of her lol
Grew up in Glasgow, this is the best review I think we've ever had, haha. Good job! Love the drone shot of Crown Park Circus. If you ever get the chance for a wee wander, I suggest walking around Dowanhill in the West End followed by dinner in the Ubiquitous Chip. The West End is the best place, arguably, on Earth. BTW: "Steamers" - the reason we call people Steamers is because back in the 1800's, people got so drunk at the weekend they couldn't work on a Monday. So, the people who owned Mills, Corporations etc [who were also the government] banned drinking on a Sunday in towns, so people used to take a Steam Boat down the Clyde to pubs outside the town to get drunk....hence, getting 'Steam Boats' or 'Steamin'!
dude, you're cool! subscribing. i didn't see any vids about the Philippines in your channel. hope you get to visit here soon. we'll be visiting HK again next year. i have friends from Scotland (Aberdeen) who have relocated here and I can say their swally lifestyle has rubbed off on me. we get tanked almost everyday - start drinking at 9 in the evening and adjourn by 5 or 6 AM.
The gentleman at 7:33, I think, actually said "Somebody, my pal, said yesterday; [he] went 'Aye, see that shop around the corner? It's on its arse!'" The Scottish 'Somebody' almost omits that 'o' syllable in some dialects, particularly Glaswegian, so it sounds more like "sumb-dy" when spoken. I'm impressed how close you got to what he actually said though. I'm from Scotland and, while I understood it immediately, it took me a couple runs to figure out what words he used!
I love the Scottish dialect. I'm from Missouri, and probably am mostly descended from German settlers, but this area was also heavily populated by Scots-Irish immigrants, and I can hear a lot of similarities with this to the southern drawl you hear in the American South.
The dialect changes around the country to be fair, there are probably as many accents in the UK as there are in the United States despite the size difference
Just watched your video and I'm envious. I took a train from New Castle to Inverness after a buddy and I walked Hadrian's Wall. I loved Inverness! If you come that far, you have to look for Nessie, try haggis, have a shot of Singleton's Scotch Wiskey while having fun at a hootnanny! Something else I noted. I had a couple of Scots talk about the "English". My cab driver made that comment. I laughed and told him, "You Scots talk about the English like Southerners (I'm from south Texas) talk about yankees!" He laughed as well all in good nature!
Glasgow is incredible! Make a point to visit and while you’re there, carve out a couple hours to walk through the Necropolis-the Victorian era cemetery just east of Glasgow Green. It’s gorgeous
Did this guy leave his intellect at the airport? Mid 40's owner..."This is the oldest ITALIAN restaurant in Glasgow, started 52 years ago" "Did YOU open it?" "No, my father did" "And where was he from?" The Scot in me screamed "FUCKING HONOLULU" When he was told you get arrested for putting coke in fine whisky, I was waiting for him to say "REALLY? How long is the sentence?" 😭🤣
Even the subtitles didn't manage to pick up what that guy was saying at the end. It translated one word as "when...." What he actually said was; "He went..." (which means 'he said.') But even some Scots would have missed that!
As a Glaswegian, Cardiff is my second favourite city in the UK. I actually have a Chinese friend who completely fell in love with Wales and moved to Cardiff, so you're not the only Chinese person who loved Wales! http
Glasgow is used in lots of films, the big attack scene in World War Z was filmed in George Square and it was also used in The Batman as parts of Gotham Just a wee tip with the subtitles, in Scotland, Whisky has no "e" in it (as you can see on the bottle)
When I was 23, 24. I go out 3 times a week, once in the club, twice in the pub. I drink mostly beer, from time to time some tequila, I barely touch any other booze, like whisky, gin or other stuff. I don’t consider myself a alcoholic, but because of the vibe of the city, I have to. BTW, I was in Prague, Czech Republic. If you fancy beer specifically, you definitely should go and have some.

omg that's my dream as well!!!!
Do you mean nederlands/germany/france?
Same here, recenly moved. Great people, great city and absolute shit food. A small price to pay for a happy life.

Went to Scotland at 2018. And it had caught me by surprise. Stunning and amazing country.
I had the experience about travelling through some European countries and the countries themselves were beautiful and vivid, but the population… However Scottish people turned my experience into a magical one. They were even more friendly than Brazilians, actually. The best part of Scotland is the Scottish people.
Edinburgh and Glasgow are two must destinations for those who visit the UK.
Sounds like folks in east maritimes of Canada or 东北人in China. Some people may think they are rude at first sight but deep down they are super friendly and fun to hang out with
Scotts are not more friendly than Brazilians.
A. Andrade... THAT was really lovely to read. Glad we made you welcome.
Go to Indonesia / Bali.. Let me know what you think about Indonesian or Balinese 😁

I was born in the slums of Glasgow, 1948, left in 1966, and many decades later I went back to Glasgow, 1988, with my wife from California and I was her translator as she understood nothing any of my family said to her but they all loved her because they thought I had married a Movie Star because she came from Los Angeles though we lived in San Francisco...
I started back into the dialect after being there for a week.
You can take the boy out of the slums, but you have to take the slums out of the boy.
We say what we mean and we mean what we say... Direct...
Och yerbumsootraewindae..... sort that one out mate.
I was born in a muddy village at the edge of a desert, left the place long ago and there's no single night my heart long to go back and settle their with my people where we have our own accent, rules and culture.
You can leave the place of your origin but you it never leaves your heart, like never.
As a foreigner, after 1 year of studying in England for my Masters degree I thought I was able to speak and understand English fairly decently.....until I went to Inverness.....and then I understood why Italians use their hands when they speak, so I took after them and I used my hands to the fullest extent in an attempt to get my messages across when speaking to locals...the funny thing is that I did not need that, as they understood me; it was me who didn't understand them, but when you don't understand what other people say, you tend to think that they don't understand you either......Scottish people are as lovely as it gets, but as a foreigner you need a "black belt" in English to be able to speak with them and understand half of what they are saying; the other half is local slang which you either need to be there for some time to pick it or you simply won't get it. Also being able to be subjected to banter and drink like a maniac are what you need. No Masters degree required ! 😁
@@mihailfelixdumitresc The mistake you (and many others) make is in thinking that what you get to hear in Scotland is English. Even in Inverness, which is a place where people only started learning English as a second language in the late 19th century, half of what you are hearing is not English. It will be Scots - not "local slang", but a sister language to English that has 1000 years of developing differently and has different linguistic origins.
It's like having learned Standard Spanish and then expecting to understand everything in Portugal or in Italy.
@@mihailfelixdumitresc : Visit Alabama or Mississippi, Georgia or Texas if you want to hear another version of spoken English. Im Scottish and I have a hard time understanding them.

I'm from Spain but lived in Scotland for 7 years. The happy friendly people is more a Glasgow thing than Scottish thing I would say. Scottish people are very friendly in general but Glasgow has a special positive energy. Edinburgh is the posh city, one of the most beutiful cities I've seen. Aberdeen is my favourite as it was my first destination and home for the first few years.
I completely agree! I was just in Scotland for 2 weeks and immediately noticed the warm and friendly Glasgow energy as soon as I got there.
Glasgow - the only city in the world where the same person who stabs and mugs you calls you an ambulance ❤
One of the friendliest cities going but still has high crime 😅
Aye, I'm from Glasgow!!!
I'm in glasgow once a year. It's a cheap and cheerful place!
Idk I’d say the friendliness is a Scottish thing in general, not just a Glasgow thing. The only place I’d say that isn’t quite as outgoing and sociable is Edinburgh in my experience and maybe Aberdeen but I’ve never been, just met people from there. Everywhere else people are extremely nice though.
I met unwelcoming and rude ppl in Glasgow, also aggressive and outside Glasgow people seem to be more friendly
Glad you had a great time! It's always interesting to see how our culture is viewed and appreciated from another perspective, Hope the rest of your visit here in Scotland is just as lovely :)
What a very polite and kind assessment. You will do well on your travels - thanks for sharing!

I come from a town near Glasgow and I can say the best part of uni was meeting people from every corner of the globe, it was the most incredible experience.
Aww this makes me so happy and beaming inside! ☺ I'm so proud to be Scottish and a weegie from Glasgow! This is the first video I've ever watched of yours and the title actually caught my eye. I now live and work in Hong Kong and it's so nice to be reminded of my roots. Glasgow is the best but so is Hong Kong too for different reasons.
I think its amazing and special that so many restaurants are still family owned and not big chains!
As someone born and bred in Glasgow of many generations I am floored by this wonderful video and all the kind comments. Really, honestly, heartfelt thanks,

Aww that's lovely. Where are you from?
TH-cam brought me this video randomly and man I could not stop smiling and laughing. People in Scotland have such great energy.
Gotta say I'm impressed by how they still preserve their strong accent.... part of their heritage that they are very proud of!! To a much lesser extent, ppl in HK also preserve their way of speaking English... can't suddenly expect them to speak like the British/Americans if they don't have that exposure or opportunity
lmao thats one way to put it. Never thought of it this way. Thanks for the perspective
After seeing all the people in the world, I still like the Chinese people the most, the kindest and the most cultural
I don't think they think of it as an accent. It's just the way people speak.
This actually isn’t shocking at all in the context of Britain
Note how US accents, Australian accents, Canadian accents etc. will differ between several states, but England alone has accents differing per county. This is because of the historical context; it was not the “Anglo-Saxons” who settled, but instead it was similar to the rest of Europe in which everyone was scattered following the fall of Western Rome. These tribes and clans held their own territories, but most interestingly, they never changed drastically at all, likely due to being an island. The other countries I mentioned above however, had very consistent settlement by Englishmen as the majority, so instead of a bunch of foreigners learning to speak with eachother, they were just Anglos abroad.
A great example is Newcastle, Geordies use Scandinavian words, and for context, this means that Newcastle’s accent has been present before England even united as a country in 927, stemming from around 867 during the Viking invasions.

I’m from the U.S. and I just love their accents. I have a southern American accent. People have a hard time with our accent too, but we sound far less eloquent 😂
may i tell you something so that you appreciate your southern accent more ...now dont get me wrong depending on what type of southern accent you have you might not sound as poetic as you might in another type of southern accent ..but its subjective anyways how you hear an accent it all depends on wether you associate the accent with somethig you veiw as prestigous or exotic or rustic or noble endjucated or lower class ...and its sad because your missing out i for example have a lower class english accent and americans labour under the delusion im speaking the kings ...and i know some highly articuate americans southern old boys with such textured southern accents who sound ever so eloquent...americans seem to be incapable of hearing accents from england scotland wales ireland or northern ireland without associating something incredibly exotic sophisticated and noble with it even if one sounds like one comes from a sink estate and even if they do think you sound like a british alleycat they still think it sounds ever so quaint and somehow cleverer then someone from detroit ...dont get me wrong its no skin off of my back its comforting to know if im ever hard up on postive attention i can fly to the statse one really feels like a lowkey celebrity in america with a british accent ..but it does show how insular and detached american culture is from europe and the uk and ireland ...
long sounds and big hearts are different. a big heart says all.

Actually the Scottish is not only friendly, but also diligent and practical in workplace ( Englishmen always work in free style ) cos I had met a teacher from Scotland before.
What's that in English?🏴
@Michael Doolan nope. Not since 1960s have stabbings been common. And even then it tended to be Glasgow. And usually gang related. There was a Criminal Code of Conduct that innocents didn't get caught up.

Nice to see Glasgow presented positively. I grew up in Glasgow so it was a clear as mud. Much of it it never heard before. Things change with time. I’ve always found it a friendly place. With lots of humour.
Definitely, I will visit Scotland because of this video. I just got this good vibe about the Scottish. Anytime is best time to drink! Yeah baby! Life is beautiful.
Omg no way, that’s such a lovely video about Glasgow. Thanks for showing it from a nice point of view 😊 and aye we love to drink 😬
Omg 😂😂😂 this is so hilarious watching the video as a Glasgow born chinese! It’s brought me so much joy hearing some of the slang and how awesome we weegies are! We really are the best lol! I found it really strange moving to Aberdeen from Glasgow and how people just couldn’t wrap their heads that I was from Glasgow but also am chinese too! It was really funny…I used to say to Aberdeen people ‘yeah there’s lots of us type of folk in Glasgow!’ All in good humour
I saw a woman in a Chinese buffet in Dundee asking the manager in a slow and condesending manner "So, how long have you been in Scotland?". The guy just went "Am fae Glesgae hen!" Nearly pee'd myself.

It was all in jest and usually friendly but you do get a few twots being ignorant. Albeit I did almost jump into a fight with a bloke who asked me if I was bringing another chinaman into the country when I was 8 months pregnant….my real Glasgow Ned came flying out and my husband had to hold me down from flying into this idiot…looking back it was funny cos here you got a chinese pregnant lady about to fly for the guy being held back by said husband

Aw, I'm so glad you loved Glasgow. We really do have a lot of slang for going drinking / getting drunk / being drunk. 😆
To be fair, Glaswegian is a dialect that's somewhere between English and Scots, so challenging for even native English speakers sometimes.

@Tamara Samaniego If you call a company in the UK especially banks its usually a Glaswegian womans voice they use for the automatic hello/options etc before you get through to a staff member. Even then chances are the staff member is in Glasgow alot of call centres here.

I agree: the further north you go in Britain, the warmer people are. The people in the south aren't bad, they're just more private, less expressive, generally speaking. London is a case all its own. I've met lots of wonderful, friendly people in England (and I have beloved relatives there) and the warmest people I met were from Sunderland.
What a great video full of respect to Scottish people. Spent some time working in Aberdeen, visited Edinburgh. Great people, still have many friends!! Aaaaaaand... lady saying that Aberdonians have less strong accent - NOPE )))
I think it is the most engaging and expressive of all the English accents.
It? Aside from the one woman at the end of the video, who is from Aberdeen, this accent is Glaswegian. Not everyone speaks like this in Scotland.
The phrase origin “steaming” was from when alcohol was banned. Except you could drink on steamboats. So people would do just that hence the phrase.
Glad you had fun in Glasgow. I hold it dear to my heart.
Just had to fact-check that and it's true! (It was banned after 11pm and on Sundays and has a few more details!)
@@gingerfellah5665 no they travelled along the rivers to the resorts on steamboats. Alcohol wasn't banned, just restricted to certain times and days. Day trips for the working class were a thing, charabancs, but that wasn't holidays. Workers got decent hols. Glesga Fair, onywan?

The reason I can understand even the deepest Scottish accent to this day is because of her lol
Your video just draw my attention to Scotland Those people are so lovely and friendly, I didn't know that.
Grew up in Glasgow, this is the best review I think we've ever had, haha. Good job! Love the drone shot of Crown Park Circus. If you ever get the chance for a wee wander, I suggest walking around Dowanhill in the West End followed by dinner in the Ubiquitous Chip. The West End is the best place, arguably, on Earth.
BTW: "Steamers" - the reason we call people Steamers is because back in the 1800's, people got so drunk at the weekend they couldn't work on a Monday. So, the people who owned Mills, Corporations etc [who were also the government] banned drinking on a Sunday in towns, so people used to take a Steam Boat down the Clyde to pubs outside the town to get drunk....hence, getting 'Steam Boats' or 'Steamin'!
dude, you're cool! subscribing. i didn't see any vids about the Philippines in your channel. hope you get to visit here soon. we'll be visiting HK again next year.
i have friends from Scotland (Aberdeen) who have relocated here and I can say their swally lifestyle has rubbed off on me. we get tanked almost everyday - start drinking at 9 in the evening and adjourn by 5 or 6 AM.
The gentleman at 7:33, I think, actually said "Somebody, my pal, said yesterday; [he] went 'Aye, see that shop around the corner? It's on its arse!'"
The Scottish 'Somebody' almost omits that 'o' syllable in some dialects, particularly Glaswegian, so it sounds more like "sumb-dy" when spoken.
I'm impressed how close you got to what he actually said though. I'm from Scotland and, while I understood it immediately, it took me a couple runs to figure out what words he used!
Thank you
you got it so right
I love the Scottish dialect. I'm from Missouri, and probably am mostly descended from German settlers, but this area was also heavily populated by Scots-Irish immigrants, and I can hear a lot of similarities with this to the southern drawl you hear in the American South.

SCOTS are the real hill folks in the southern states, and they made America, read what G Washington said. SLAINTE
The dialect changes around the country to be fair, there are probably as many accents in the UK as there are in the United States despite the size difference
Just watched your video and I'm envious. I took a train from New Castle to Inverness after a buddy and I walked Hadrian's Wall. I loved Inverness! If you come that far, you have to look for Nessie, try haggis, have a shot of Singleton's Scotch Wiskey while having fun at a hootnanny! Something else I noted. I had a couple of Scots talk about the "English". My cab driver made that comment. I laughed and told him, "You Scots talk about the English like Southerners (I'm from south Texas) talk about yankees!" He laughed as well all in good nature!
Love the maitre'd speaking as slow as possible so his accent doesn't go haywire

Did this guy leave his intellect at the airport? Mid 40's owner..."This is the oldest ITALIAN restaurant in Glasgow, started 52 years ago" "Did YOU open it?" "No, my father did" "And where was he from?" The Scot in me screamed "FUCKING HONOLULU"
When he was told you get arrested for putting coke in fine whisky, I was waiting for him to say "REALLY? How long is the sentence?"

Even the subtitles didn't manage to pick up what that guy was saying at the end. It translated one word as "when...." What he actually said was; "He went..." (which means 'he said.') But even some Scots would have missed that!
well now I know why my Glasgow colleagues are always talking about the weather and so happy when sun shines.

Oh wow I've just spent a week here on a business trip haha. Enjoyed practising chinese with some great people there!
When I was 23, 24. I go out 3 times a week, once in the club, twice in the pub. I drink mostly beer, from time to time some tequila, I barely touch any other booze, like whisky, gin or other stuff. I don’t consider myself a alcoholic, but because of the vibe of the city, I have to. BTW, I was in Prague, Czech Republic. If you fancy beer specifically, you definitely should go and have some.
This is such a cool video, love hearing the difference in the accents.
Love how they use “wee” and it makes them sound so good
