FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF TEXAS, AMERICA: as a Scottish person who's been fascinated by America - the USA - since childhood, it was so amazing to be invited by the US Embassy to the UK for my first ever visit. SUBSCRIBE to my channel for more Scottish reactions: / @shaunvlog
It's awesome to see so many people from America who celebrate their Scottish and Irish ancestry so keenly, and come on to RU-vid 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 TEXAS.

Surprising to most though - we hardly ever have to use 'em. They're meant for defense. It sounds kinda crazy to people who don't feel that way about guns, but the best way to stop a crazy shooter at a concert or event is for prepared and well-trained citizens to stop them, as they don't have to wait for the police to show up. Texas is big. Police have a ways to go sometimes and a lot of people can be hurt or killed fast if the shooter is the only one packing. Personally, I feel the most safe at a concert with a seasoned grey hair with a gun in their holster scanning the room around me.

As a Texan who spent a couple of weeks in Scotland, I have to say that I, too, felt a kinship between myself and the Scots with whom my wife and I interacted. As with Texas, there seems to be a great deal of pride associated with being Scottish, and the attitude towards that pride is very similar; it is kind of a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement that you're from and/or live in a place that's a bit more special than most people perceive it to be. It's very hard to describe, but it is absolutely palpable and 100% unapologetic. My wife and I are both anxious to get back to Scotland as soon as possible so that we can continue exploring the wonderful place that we found it to be.

@@hamilt55467 Self-loathing much? American agriculture and animal husbandry has transformed the world's food supply. One of the biggest problems of the world, through huge amounts on history has been starvation. We shoved the pendulum the other direction. Yep, we pushed a bit too far and now we have too much food. We overeat. Big f*cking deal! We'll figure it out, eventually. Show a little gratitude. You will (most likely) live three times longer than most of past humanity and you may die of a problem of "too much" maybe diabetes or some such. Dying sucks, but as Jim Morrison said, "no one gets out of here alive." America as a nation is less than 250 years old. We solved a multi-millennia problem in a relatively few years!

When you come back to Texas you need to spend about a month. Spend a week on the coast in places like Galveston and Corpus Christi with a couple of days in Houston for good measure. Next spend a couple of days in San Antonio and a couple of days in California East.... I mean Austin. You should also spend some time in West Texas exploring the geography and small town culture between San Antonio and El Paso. Then, traveling from the desert to the forest, so to speak, go explore East Texas and maybe go fishing on one of the many reservoirs like Toledo Bend on the Texas/Louisiana borders. And you've got to enjoy the many different cuisines in each area. Might want to buy some pants a size bigger in the waist.

@@timesthree5757 Some years ago I got interested in American Indian folk lore and read as many collections of it as i could find. I noticed something interesting about their creation myths. Although they were as varied as you could imagine, every single one of them had one detail in common, people were not created with the world. In every single Indian creation story I have ever read, people are, somehow, already living before the world is created and are taken from wherever they were, the Happy Hunting Ground, the sky, asleep in a cave, and *put* into the Earth. I think this indicates that, as diverse as the different tales are, they all go back to common original, and that the first settlers were aware of the fact that they had come from one distinct place to another distinct place, and that initial understanding got incorporated into their mythology.

I felt a kindred spirit connection to Scotland as far as 'pride' goes. This was late 70s/early 80s, but at that time definitely the Scots were very proud of their homeland. I hope it is still this way. I have also sensed a kindred 'pride' spirit with Australians that I have met while traveling. It's a good thing, and makes me smile when someone is very proud of where they come from.

We are currently having some struggles over here and this video really lifted my spirits. Everybody holds stereotypes and that’s fine but it is so awesome when we talk to people and see things for ourselves, that is how we learn. You cannot change people’s minds without changing their hearts. Well done, sir!
