Asking Scottish Kids Questions About Scotland (HILARIOUS)While I was with Singer Station Music School in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, Louise (who runs the school) and I asked kids ranging from ages 3-13 questions about Scotland. This is what they said...
I also have videos of them singing Scottish songs - would you like to see this in another vlog?

Scottish Highland Games: ExplainedDating back to the early days of clan gatherings, the Scottish Highland Games is an undeniable pillar of Scottish heritage. Hosted annually during the summer months, the Highland Games brings towns and villages from across Scotland together to spectate this Scottish tradition, with competitors of the sporting events travelling from all over the world to take part in the games.
The first Scottish Highland Games is thought to have been hosted by Malcom Canmore in the 11th century, when clan chieftains would select their strongest men to compete. This tradition continued until the 19th century, following the failed Jacobite rebellions when the Highland culture became suppressed, causing the Highland Games to be almost eradicated. However, Queen Victoria resurrected the games as she introduced the Braemar Gathering in 1832, which is now celebrated globally in the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and several other places.
A traditional modern day Scottish Highland Games will begin with a Chieftains Parade where a procession will be led by the Chieftain of the games, followed by local pipe bands, athletes and highland dancers. Following this, the sporting events of the day begin, including the most renowned heavy event, the Caber Toss, which involves the participant throwing a large timber pole with the aim of landing it at a 12 o’clock position. Other heavy events include the hammer throw, which is now an official event at the Olympics, weight for height, and the stone punt.
There are also track and field events which take place including cycling and running, with the opportunity for spectators to compete, giving you a chance to be a part of the Scottish Highland Games, so don’t miss it! Highland dancing also takes place throughout the day with dancers of all ages showcasing the traditional Highland Fling and the Sword Dance to the crowds gathered. The dancing is also accompanied by the famous bagpipes alongside several pipe bands, drummers and solo piping competitions throughout the day, which fill the atmosphere with patriotic rhythms.
Whether you are taking part or spectating, Scottish Highland Games is a truly magnificent collaboration of both Scottish tradition and community spirit, allowing Scottish heritage to remain alive and integrated in the lives and cultures of generations to come.

Things Not To Say To Scottish PeopleDeep-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.

In today's episode, I look at a few things Americans do that British people find weird. It's awesome to see so many people from America who celebrate their Scottish and Irish ancestry so keenly, and come on to YouTube to seek out people celebrating these cultural nuances. You only have to look at the success of the Try channel or Facts channel to see how people love seeing Irish People trying American things for example.
I feel sad that, for our part, so few in Scotland celebrate this amazing connection between Scotland and America, and I want to change that. So to start, here are 10 of my first impressions of America, and then i'll go on to talk about other aspects of us culture from a Scottish perspective.

The mention of Scotland conjures images of green rolling hills, woolen knits, plaid, and, of course, Scotch whisky.
Here are 10 other cool things about the country and its people.
Number 10. Inventions. Some of the world’s favorite ones sprung from the minds of Scottish creators. Among them are television, the telephone, and penicillin.
Number 9. Their official animal is the unicorn. It may seem strange that a nation would pick a mythical creature, but given Scotland’s rich history of legend and lore it’s an appropriate choice.
Number 8. It’s where the redheads are. A whopping 13 percent of the population has red hair. About 40 percent of people living in the Edinburgh area carry a ginger gene.
Number 7. Around 70 percent of Scots have blue eyes. It’s a common color throughout the UK, but most prevalent in the southeastern region of Scotland.
Number 6. Higher education rules. Approximately 45 percent of the country’s people aged between 25 and 64 have engaged in some sort of formal learning following high school. That makes it the most educated nation in Europe.
Number 5. They’re loyal to their legends. The possibility that there really is a Loch Ness Monster has been kept alive and well for around 1500 years. Written references to the beast date back to the mid 500s.
Number 4. The Scottish eat dangerously. Their national dish is haggis, and among its ingredients are a mixture of vital sheep organs and a dash of cayenne pepper for zing. Its import into the United States has been banned since the early 1970s.
Number 3. Scotland has taken over North America. Not in a political way, clearly, but the number of people of Scottish descent living in the US and Canada is about equal to the amount currently residing in their native country.
Number 2. Great writing is a tradition. Their literary history is studded with impressive and influential authors including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Lord Byron.
Number 1. The Scottish invented golf. An early version of the game first surfaced there in the 15th century. Sand traps were part of the course even back then.
Which cool thing about Scotland is your favorite?

Americans tip a lot better than we do in the UK
America has huge cars/trucks and portions of food.
British people should not discuss gun culture in America and expect to come away from the debate unscathed.
