What are the don'ts of visiting Scotland? Your tour to Scotland can be fun-filled and extremely rewarding. Tourists have a lot of places to go, things to see, and things to do in Scotland. However, visitors can see the other side of Scotland if they do one of these 12 things not to do in Scotland. You can go back home with negative experiences if you’re not aware of the don’ts of visiting Scotland.
While you hike, tackle road trips as you enjoy some of the best islands in the world, you have to realize that Scots take exceptions to certain actions and utterances. To maximize the enjoyment of your visit, we hereby present in this video, 12 things not to do in Scotland.
1. Trying to Be Scottish
This is one of the things not to do in Scotland. When tourists from the US, or even other parts of the UK, regardless of their looks, claim to be Scottish, many things give them away because they are not. Having a Scottish distant relative doesn’t make you Scottish. In their pretense or supposedly belongingness, some try to do a Scottish accent.
All these aren’t endearing. The pretending tourists are eventually discovered as their accent will give them away. No matter how good you are, every place has its own accent that only natives can do well. The Scots feel mocked when you try to impersonate a local Scottish accent.
2. Asking Too Many Money-Related Questions
Basically, the pound sterling is GBP anywhere you are in the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, Scottish money appears different even though it is the same amount, currency, and value as what you spend in England. You don’t need to tell them in Scotland that this is weird, they already know that.
3. Discussing Soccer
The argument that will ensue when you call it soccer is the first thing experience that will teach you that this is one of the things not to do in Scotland. In the UK, it is called football. Besides, the British are very parochial about football such that each part of the Kingdom is a member of FIFA. In Scotland, they love their local team even though they’re not doing too well. Any superficial discussion about those teams and football, in general, will most likely end in a disceptation.
4. Talking About Politics
If your experience with discussing soccer is not nasty enough, try to talk about politics. You’ll then see how precious tourist time and resources can be wasted while altercating on matters with little or no direct bearing on tourists’ attractions.
Politics is a sensitive issue in Scotland. You should never be caught wondering about Scotland being part or no part of England. You can learn that not from Scottish people. This is because the history of English and Scottish people is complicated, controversial, and better storied. Therefore, any conversation around Scottish local politics or its state in the Union will end up worse than a conversation about soccer.
