Scotland. The land of cake. Castles. Kilts. Bagpipes. Tartan. The Loch Ness Monster. And an accent that you might absolutely love, or completely not understand. I was more than a little surprised (and amused) to learn that Scotland’s official national animal is not a bird, deer, squirrel or even a fish. But rather… a unicorn. Yes, really. I guess it makes sense given the Scots' penchant for all things mythical. And their wicked sense of humor.

Even if you’ve never set foot in Scotland, you might already be quite familiar with the country. Thanks to several blockbuster films that gave us an inside glimpse into the culture, terrain and history of the United Kingdom destination. Whether it’s wizardry, war or the wild ways of teens and young adults going off the rails, many of us have witnessed Scotland in all its good and bad glory.

If you’re a Harry Potter fan, we probably don’t have to tell you that parts of the books and movies were set in Scotland. While the battlefields featured in Braveheart also fall within that country. Those who remember the movie Trainspotting might know it was adapted from a book written by Scottish author Irvine Welsh. The characters in the novel and film come from a poverty-stricken area of Edinburgh.

The trouble is, both sides make sense - as seen by themselves. Thinking through someone else's eyes is a rare skill
Scotland has produced its fair share of famous actors, singers and creatives. Think Sean Connery, Tilda Swinton, Ewan McGregor, Annie Lennox, DJ Calvin Harris and Gerard Butler.
It’s also brought us mythical greats like the Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie as it’s known to some. The creature once again made headlines around the world on 1 April, when it was widely reported that scientists had developed photographs from a 50-year-old camera trap that had been set up to capture images of the Loch Ness Monster.

“The device is thought to be one of six cameras placed 180 metres (590ft) below the surface in 1970 by Professor Roy Mackal, of the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau, and the University of Chicago,” reads one Daily Mail article.
“It is likely one of the earliest attempts to catch the famous monster on film and, remarkably, remained dry within its clear waterproof plastic container. It was unearthed during trials of a National Oceanographic Centre (NOC) submersible vessel – commonly known as Boaty McBoatface.”

"Banter", you say? -- 'Bally Jerry pranged his kite right in the How's Your Father. Hairy blighter dicky-birded, feathered back on his Sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harper's and caught his can in the Bertie!' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWWPk9jrvqk&t=145s

We got to play football exactly 1 time in gym class, during my 6yrs in secondary school. Every girl in my class except me 'forgot' their gym kit that day so the teacher reluctantly agreed to let the boys play football. He didn't want me to play but I insisted on joining in. I was (unsurprisingly) picked last and everyone was stunned when i turned out to be a better player than 80% of the boys. Everyone had conveniently forgot that I played for the school's girls team and that we regularly won tournaments against other schools and beat the boys school team every time we played them.(they never won any tournaments)

"Ned" is Scottish slang for young hooligan, in case the explanation was needed.

Europe: "American portions are WAY too large! No wonder you're all obese!" Also Europe: "The portions in our restaurants are far too small!" (I know, different cases, different establishments, different people complaining. But hey, what's humor without some unwarranted overgeneralization?)

Did anyone else say "Rupsi!" in Scooby Doo's voice in their head? Did you add, "Ruh Roh" in there as well?

BP author wrote "But rather… a unicorn. Yes, really. I guess it makes sense given the Scots' penchant for all things mythical. And their wicked sense of humor." Neither of those are the reason for the unicorn being the national animal of Scotland. The truth is, they chose it because the unicorn is the natural enemy of the lion, and the lion is the national animal of England. The 'auld enemy' immortalised its hatred of the English in its national coat of arms.

Tons of these weren't Scottish at all. Funny....but not Scottish.
