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.

If you love yourself a good dose of laughter brought on by a quintessential Scotsman or woman, you should head over to a place called Scottish Patter. The Facebook account has more than 754,000 followers. And for good reason. It's a wall of utterly hilarious memes and posts can can only be described as "braw" or "tidy." IYKYK... Bored Panda has put together a list of our utmost favorites from the page. Let us know yours by upvoting them!

    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)
