- Deep-fried food, bagpipes, an absence of undergarments: it’s fair to say that Scottish people encounter quite a few stereotypes about their lives and homeland day to day. But what are some of the most pervasive - and annoying? We asked some Scots to reveal all.

I'm Scottish and I can confirm that every Scottish person's accent becomes thicker when they're angry.
Nunya Business Indeed
It also becomes more thick at a Celtic vs rangers match
Nunya Business omg 😂 that’s true with me
My dad is Scottish and when I was growing up, I always knew when I was really in trouble because his accent would become ten times thicker haha.
Or if they are drunk.
The ONLY thing NOT to say to Scottish people is: Are you English?
Mini Producer more like “are u Irish”
Yeah like don't remind them they are just Scottish lol
Ughhhh yes
Mini Producer tbh I don’t mind that and I’m Scottish but I get some people get really annoyed
Mini Producer lol just me here half Scottish half English yeh I will leave now
When we lived in England, people used to ask my husband why he wasn’t ginger. His response was always ‘I have an English grandfather, it polluted the bloodline. I married a ginger hoping to correct things, but unfortunately the children are similarly afflicted’.
your husband is awesome
That's awesome.
I worked with a girl who was a ginger, and her boyfriend was a ginger. Even though they looked nothing alike apart from their hair colour, people would always ask if they were siblings. Eventually her boyfriend got so fed up with this that he would say yes and then start making out with her. She went along with it because the reactions they got were apparently hilarious.
Your husband is a legend!!
That's amazing
@@keirafirestone5129 omg😂😂😂
I lived in england my whole life up until a year ago when I moved to scotland and I've never met such kind hearted and generous people tbh
Do you mind speaking for yourself
Malachite You probably lived in Londonstan
Malachite Ta x
Malachite you sure youve got the right place pal
Just stay in edinburgh
To all the ignorant people in the comment section: Scottish doesn’t mean white. If someone is born and raised in Scotland, they’re Scottish.
Georgia and I was born and raised in Canada so I am an Indigenous Canadian.
Michael Merritt but you are Canadian.........
Chompo14 Last name indigenous meaning aboriginal. I don’t have native blood.
Scottish is an ethnic group, being born in Scotland does not make someone ethnically Scottish.
Tasnim Ahmed think you missed the point of the video
“Yer da sells Avon”
A line every Scottish person knows aw to well.
True 😂
Lmao. That’s a thing?!
@@Miikhiel Yea, I used to hear it all the time lmao.
Every Weegie. maybe?
Bampot
As a Scottish person I can confirm that thinking a kilt is a dress is the single worst crime a human being can commit
Omg I absolutely hate it it's like whenever I see people walking around in kilts people give them death stares like they should only wear them at weddings or summing.
Its not a dress if you wear something under it, right?
@@Nova7_the_insane yes we wear underwear now shut up😊
yes
Worse than asking if I were to post a letter to scotland, would I write "Scotland" or would I write "Scotland, England"?
"Are you a REAL scotsman?"
No, mate, I'm the dollar store version.
dollar store
hmm
You realy ain’t Scottish mate, your with the wrong money, itd be pounds and pennies mate
Clearly not if you call it THE FOOKIN DOLLAR STORE it's called a POUND SHOP.
the cool shoeshine Poundland
It’s Pound sterling mate > £
I'm just here to listen to the accent 😍😍
woah, unexpected hinata
My Lordship, You've replied to every top comment on this video with a snide remark. You're in no position to tell other people they need a life.
Amy C haha, this 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 seconded
My Lordship, No actually, it's not. Fascism is a very specific political ideology which involves extreme right wing nationalism. It's not just a throwaway word which means disagreeing with someone else's opinion. Please educate yourself in the future to avoid further embarrassment.
Same
The curly haired girl is really cute
My Lordship, Pretty sure I trust my own judgement and don't need some bigot minded imbecile to try and belittle me. Bore off you bored old cretin.
My Lordship, Think you meant *well and not we'll buddy :) Now try put the blame on your phone's autocorrection feature. Sad pathetic excuse of a human being. You sound so triggered and insecure by a simple comment.
My Lordship, My English is more proficient than my first language actually. I was practically raised in this country anyway. You say people like me shit on the English language, but that's a little contradicting don't you think? Seeing as you initially tried to outsmart me and I put you in your place. Goodbye.
because who the fuck wants to be British?
My Lordship, You deleted some of your comments. Just wow.
I've lived in Scotland for about three years now and I can tell you. Kindest. People. Ever
cheers😎😎
Thx
haha go talk tae the salty kids playin football haha
Not true, but thx!
Cheers mate!
FACT: Scottish accents are the sexiest of all accents
Ayy
You're not wrong
Yass queen
Scottish & English accents are the sexiest accents on the planet!
For me

Things not to say to scottish people: i can't understand what you're saying
My Lordship, english is my third language
My Lordship, You forgot to capitalise, 'Your'.
My Lordship, Im sensing you're not very fond of scots?
My Lordship You seem a bit pissy about the grammar lad
thats the good part tho i love not being able to understand what people say and guess 50% of it
I love how each and every one of them just started daydreaming every thing deep fried food and I just love it
Most things are better deep fried. We tried one of those exensive air fryers and it's no where near as good.
“Bagpipes are awful!”
Me: “Yeah! Awfully _good!”_
"this doesnt apply to us. We ARE the sun!" awww
As a Salvadoran (Central American), I related to this. lol
"I want to deep fry a Toblerone"
Love him!
I'm hungry now.
😍😍
@Johnny Concrete S I M P
everyone is just a little bit irish on st patrick’s day... except the scots... they’re still scottish 😂🏴💪🏻💙
My Lordship, wha?
Scotland comes from the tribe Scotti who were an Irish tribe. Scotti was a term for Ireland and the Irish. Scotland literally means Irish land. You’re more Irish than you think.
Derek Conlon Scotti were only a specific tribe in one area of Scotland which gave Scotland its English name. The entirety of Scotland were not from this tribe.
G H i was born on st patricks day
Except the east end of Glasgow Dundee half of Edinburgh etc
im confused to why they have polite scottish people if you put me and ma mates on that it would be swearing for a full 4 minutes
Was thinking that myself. Not one of them said C'mon Tae F@ck, which is my term for disagreeing. F@ck forms part of sentences. You can say F@ck about 50 different ways.
aye
Exactly
Ik it's funny when people are havin an argument and they be like fack Fock fock
@@miketonon7946 Yes, Williams is a Scottish name. What about it?
So happy to see a black Scottish woman represented! I’ve had so many people question or give me disbelieving looks when I tell them I’m Scottish.
John Kimber dont be a racist prick. she is scottish.
You’re 100% Scottish.
Not Scottish
@@barcabhoy7193nope. Never will be.
Well you know...There is culture and actual genetics. You are African and i'm Greek, neither of us is Scottish, but we can live, act, indulge, respect, contribute and celebrate Scotland. We can be both. I don't claim Scottish ancestry obviously.
hearing scottish people talk reminds me why is scottis my fav accent, its the best 😁
Sake this is posh Scottish come tae Glasgow and that’s when you’ll hear real Scottish
I’m Scottish
Its not scotch its nor scottie its scots or scottish non of this pi*h talk about us we wear kilts or eat haggis stop with the bleeding steriotypes
I love that they spent two minutes just talking about everything you can deep fry
Grandpas ashes
@@yuurikatsuki6412 did it taste good?
I think Scots would love the food at the Minnesota State Fair: EVERYTHING is deep fried there.
So the American South got its food culture from Scotland.
Best part
The woman with the curly brown hair is absolutely gorgeous!
haha thanks
Agreed
I have red hair and my last name begins with Mc and I live in England and people always ask "where's your accent"
Brenda where is your sense it's in my voicebox
Are you Jessie-Jane McParland
I also have red hair, but I'm English with a southern accent and people say "you look Scottish" or "you should be Scottish" all the time!!! I might just permanently do the accent to avoid this Haha!
Love Scottish accents, my dad was born in Edinburgh and his family live in Scotland and Berwick but my dad moved to Leeds at a young age so he doesn’t have the accent but I always wished that I was from Scotland
I’m from/I live in Edinburgh x
at least yer dad has a YAWK-shire accent. ey up
Bethany Jane be proud of where you come from England has lost its national identity

I relate when it comes to the thickness of my accent too haha! I’m from southern USA although my accent is only super amplified when I’m angry or excited. It happens to the best of us I guess
gabrielle f. Or drinking 😝
I have a really thick country accent , I can relate
Same. Mine comes out when I'm tired or had been drinking.
@@chrisowens6530 i grew up in Australia but everything else about my family is Scottish and i could never spell or speak for shit and i have a sorta Scottish/Irish accent when im tired or pissed off

"Haggis is rank."
*gasps in scottish*
Laquita Wright I’m Scottish but I do think it’s rank (I’ve not had it since I was a little kid cause I’ve been vegetarian for 16 years)
Me and ma mates play a game called Truth, Dare or Sheep's Stomach, where if ya dinnae want tae do the dare or the truth, you'll have tae have some haggis.
Haggis is rank, nearly as bad as vegetarian diets.
The only thing Scottish about this interview is that it is controlled by the English.
please fuck off
FATBOYALLSTARS agreed
oh fuck, too true
Reluctant Squid true ahhahahahahaha
Oh shit-
i spat my drink out when he said "doont muss weth mee pal!"
My Lordship, although the slang is of British origin, it's not limited to exclusively Scottish dialect and is a popular idiom used around the UK. Don't see why you had to disparage my drinking skills.
My Lordship, learn how to form a sentence, then come up with a comeback you illiterate pleb
Are you genuinley brain dead, or do you just put it on to claim diability benefits and skip queues at the food bank?
rather than pointing out my obvious typo, answer my question rather than dodging the fact that you are wrong
If you can't give a response, let alone a logical one, I'm not going to continue to argue with an idiot like yourself. Do you want me to spell it out in phonetic? Or maybe put in some emojis as well so you dont have to strain your reading ability too much.
I love the Scottish accent. Don't know how anyone could not like it.
My cousin lives in Glasgow and her kid is an adorable little half brown girl with a very thick accent who calls her favourite toy 'Wee Eeyore'.
I love bagpipes. I'm from USA, my dad was in the Air Force Band and they had a bagpipe section.... Loved it. Grew up never meeting other people who liked em until I was 24 and working for blockbuster, and my manager had bagpipe cd's.... I'd never been so excited lol
when i was on holiday once someone once asked me “what part of england are you from?” and i went “i’m scottish” and they went “yeah i know but where abouts is that in england?”
If I were you, I'd be like "if you wanna see another day, shut up now or look at a map" 😂😂😂
Yep I went to Bulgaria and the lady was doing a group thing with us all and named where we were all from and we would cheer it came to our group (Scottish) and she said “England!” We stood looked around and stayed quiet so she leaned to us and shouted “England” and I was like “eh we are Scottish” she said “well same thing” she rolled her eyes and ignored our group the rest of the day and we heard her talk to the other groups saying how rude we were and she didn’t like Scottish people?? We were doing archery that day guess where I wanted to aim it? 😂
Fun Fact: the second chores of the British national anthem is about "crushing the Scots"
I’ve been waiting for this video 😂😂
I love how they talk it's amazing!
This might be a tad bit late but gosh the lass with the curly hair, you are stunning.
3:59 “ you must be allergic to The sun”
Yes I am, and I’m not even Scottish. ;)
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FFFFFOOOOOOORRRRRREEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEERRRRR!!!!
I could listen to them speak all day. ♥️
I love their accent so much!
Some Americans pronounced Glasgow as “Glass-gow!” 🤦♂️😂
I'm assuming you're actually from Ireland Stephen?
Naw it's Glass Cow lol
Craig yes but my mums Glaswegian.
I pronounce it "Glah-z-goh"
Just me?
Okay-
i say Glass-co
This was so fun!
Olay so I'm not a fan of too many deep fried stuff myself but that's just me personally. I like bagpipes but not all the time. I live in Glasgow and there's always some busker playing bagpipes in the town. It gets old after a while. I like the English, bit of a playful rivalry going on but nothing serious as far as I'm concerned. I don't get the heroin thing either. I'd be quite annoyed if someone said that to me tbh. The one thing they didn't say which annoys me all the time is when people say British and mean English like "British accent" when they're doing a English accent and yes, that's technically correct but they're using British as a synonym for English, which it's not.
Calvin M thank you
The heroin thing is all because of Trainspotting. My son says that movie is just “an advertisement for heroin.”
I'm half Scottish and half English, so British seems the only correct term for me. I'm really not using British to mean "English". I'm just trying to find a term that best describes my nationality :)
GET ON MA LEVEL! as a Scottish girl who has moved away from the uk and moved to the us (sadly (i miss the sound of bagpipes)) i am currently listening to 'Flower Of Scotland' on max volume at 22:57 pm 🙃😂😑
“Bagpipes are awful!”
Pick a windae; yer leavin’.
Pick a windae, always loved that. Ma english teacher used to say that constantly, fuckin cool guy.
This cracks me up. I'm of Scottish descent in New Zealand, if you don't like bagpipes don't come here, lol.
It's been many, many years since I visited Scotland but I don't recall all that much deep fried food. We did have haggis one night. It was... interesting.
The more they talked about deep-fried this and deep-fried that, the more I drooled.
How many of them get asked to say, "Captain, my engines canna take much more!"
How about, "Have you ever seen Nessie?? Can you introduce me???"
As an irishman I can somehow agree/understand with what they're saying. Especially the rivalry 😂
i dont understand where the heroin question came from
From the novel/film "Trainspotting".
maybe "trainspotting"?
Christian kathryn Grimes Glasgows bad times with the heroin/crackcocaine epidemic and yeah a slight bit of trainspotting which in itself was based around scotlands bad times with class A's..
Technically it comes from Afghanistan. How it gets to Scotland is another question.
Heather Cameron It comes from all over the place lebanon bolivia even the caribbean and it gets smuggled in by all sorts of means airmail packages mules light aircraft or boats shipping containers air freight theres many different ways...
"theres a time and a place, and this is neither the time or the place" absolute legend 2k18
I feel the same way about bagpipes...Cape Breton does the bagpipe fiddle combo everywhere too. Scottish proud
I’m Scottish and the accent drives me mental when it’s filmed
same here
It’s awful.
Emily ikr people seem to love it but i’m Scottish and I cringe everytime
me too
DramaLlamaPyjama it always sounds fake aha
Never heard about any unusual connection between the Scottish and heroin before.🤔
Obviously everyone asks the Scots about hating the English because we all love it when you yell, "FREEDOM!" 👍
It comes from the film Trainspotting (based on the novel by Scottish writer Irvine Welsh). Don't know if it's based on personal experience of drug culture in Scotland, but the association of heroin use in Scotland is more prevalent because of Trainspotting :)
The accent ..freaking love it ...💕💕
My father worked with a Scottish man. He really liked him, he said he was so respectful. He said he never understood a word he said. Everyone called him Scotty. When Scotty would talk to him my father would say yes if he thought it was a question. No matter what. Who knows what he agreed to all of those years.
I’m Scottish , I live in Scotland but I’ve had internet friends from like England or something say stuff like “you’re not Scottish because you don’t have a Scottish accent”
My voice sounds a little bit more “Scottish” now because I’m getting older but just because someone is Scottish doesn’t mean they have a Glaswegian accent
The Scottish accent is sexy AF - I'd like to have me a Scotsman someday XD
Kam Ferrari hey hey hey 😉
Thats the kind of attitude that swings ma sporran :)
The breeze between the knees is the best part of a kilt
Thank god for this
Oh the accent! I’m Brazilian and I’m learning English, and my favorite accent is the Scottish ❤️ I need a Scottish friend! Haha
Whilst their speaking, I’m trying to do an Scottish accent😂😂 Scottish accents it’s really interesting 🤣🤣
My Lordship, jheez didn’t know my comment triggered you that much😒
Two phrases to always remember: 'Nae bother' and 'Get it up ye!'.
well there are different Scottish accents the ones in here were Glaswegian and imo it’s one of the worst scottish accents (i’m scottish)
@freckles fit part of scotland ye from?
@@No-ls7gk personally got a doric accent masel
This is funny to listen to and weird at the same time. I'm not from Scotland but I love bagpipes and kilts. Everytime I think of a Scottish person I think of some buff person with an awesome accent.
Bagpipes are awesome I’ve heard thunderstruck on a bagpipe and is sounded so badass
But...
Celtic or Rangers?
Mon eh hoops!!!

Love to hear that bagpipe/indian drum combo.
Love this, get em told !
Deep-fried Mars Bars and Creme Eggs are bloody amazing! Shut up! ^_^
I wear pants under a kilt cause if I'm wearing one it's usually at an event like a wedding or something so there are usually little kids running around. So im gonna wear pants.
I was sure that I want to firm a Norwich uni n make Aberdeen as my insurance, but literally I'm an overseas applicant n the vibes that Scottish people is soo great. Like people r so friendly in the gc n the staff and everything is soo soo nice. Like Scotland uni attracted me towards them even tho at the beginning I was sure to firm England.
Omg I've never seen a video that described my life so well😂
Oh i love being scottish
Been waiting for this one, come on the scots hahah
i was really expecting a question like “OOH, DONKEY!”
The brown Scottish guy is the best part of the video
You should make a video called things to never say to someone that is adopted.
I’m Scottish and I agree with EVERYTHING that they said 😂🏴🏴
I'm planning a trip to either Glasgow or Inverness in a few years, but I've slightly fallen in love with the country. What do I need to know? Is Gaelic spoken with younger people or is it more with then older generations? I'm curious, sorry for being at idiot.
I live in Canada and I remeber a teacher back in school who had that rich Scottish accent and I asked about it and she said " I just can't hide it can I ?"
I remeber thinking
" you were trying to HIDE IT ?"
Accents aren’t as thick as I’d like where is my falkirk representation or even really Scottish voice representation
I know. I have a really thick accent and talk quite fast. It is really annoying when people watch things like this and then are like "OMG! I haven't got a clue what you are saying! Slow down!"
My dads family has crazy thick accents and I always had a little trouble tuning in at first (I'm from New Zealand). But then in high school I got a Scottish teacher and I was the only one able to understand her
PWNED5805 mate I'm fri falkirk
That’s is why we Scots have many different dialects and accents
Go and learn to spell
As a British person, I've never understood why some English people say these things to Scottish people, I really like them!
What a fun bunch of folks. I want to hang out with them!
2:13 when you’re just so on the same wavelength
I visited Scotland last year for vacation and it was beautiful. And the food is great
Also maybe it's just because I'm American but deep fried food is the best ❤
The answer to the question "What do you wear under your kilt?"
Lipstick.
(The old ones are always the best)
I'm English and bagpipes don't annoy me; I LOVE them! I love Scotland in general, it's a gorgeous place with gorgeous people.
"Stay off the scag!" - hilarious! :)
I wish you didn't tell Scottish people they will go to jail for making a joke with their pug.
Mark is a UKIP brown nosing fanny
Violka1987 Yeah, granted the original case was ridiculous, but the guy that runs that channel is a right-wing freak
@Samwisegamgee The Brave That's not what happened, he trained it to raise it's paw whenever he said sieg heil

@@lokevoice He ran for UKIP. Don't let them shift the window. He is FAR RIGHT.
I wore a kilt at my mum who’s like half Scottish’s wedding, I was 3 and it was brilliant
I've heard that kilts are basically like tuxedos in that not everyone has one and it's worn during like special occasions.
That’s absolutely true
I’m surprised no question about the Loch Ness monster.
I love it when people have a Scottish accent👌👌👌
the whole time I just wanted one of them to say the iconic line from brave,, IF YE HAD THE CHANCE TO CHANGE YE FATE, WOULD YA?
