Scottish Stereotypes - Are They True? 

Next week the new names of my patreon supporters will be listed!!! Thanks to everyone who supports me on patreon! BUT! You can support me by liking this video, sharing it, commenting on it, sending me your lad and lass picture for the end of the video etc! You guys are AMAZING!!!!!!! I'm sorry I've not been responding to too many comments... work has been breaking my back recently :(

Dont like the english? How about this. I was researching my ancestry and visited Ireland and met the people there and learned why I am so good looking. Then I went to Scotland and met the people there and learned why Im so charming. Then I visited England and met the people there and learned why my ancestors left!

Part of the reason I’ve been so obsessed with Scotland over the past year, is because ya’ll are some of THE NICEST & most generous people I’ve encountered!!! You guys care sooooo much, & are so genuine!

Your voice is basically music to my ears.

I heard that Scottish & Irish are some of the friendliest people in the world. I am American but my ancestry is Scottish, English, Norwegian, and Native American. Looking at this I know I have Irish in my background also. Impossible not to. I had a next door neighbor who was from Edinburgh. One of the best friends I’ve ever had. I could just drop in on her & she always had time to visit and we had some good long visits. She was not afraid to speak her mind and she was hilarious. She made everyone laugh. I miss living next door to her.

"We don't abuse our sheep like tee Welsh." 😐 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I honestly busted out laughing! 😂

Love the tee - shirt! OMG YES, we Americans need more Scottish Heros! LOL

I'm an American, and I just ordered a modern-style kilt that's primarily black with a primarily red plaid accent. I ordered it because: 1) always wanted a kilt, 2) I'm going to a Celtic Fling festival at the end of June, and 3) I think I'll look damn good in it!

24°C? I agree of you aren't used to it. Here in Texas it gets to over 40°C during the summer.

You make me laugh, so funny! I love your Scottish accent, could listen to you 24/7. Please keep doing this.

So I guess my Scottish "brother from another mother" was exaggerating a wee bit when he claimed that two Scotsmen invented copper wire... by fighting over a penny... «snerk»

I was reminded of Alastair Cooke's all-time favorite London Times headline, which in Celsius would be: "23 Again Tomorrow. No Relief in Sight."

I like men in kilts! 😁 Don't know about Haggis. I like mild weather. Today it's in the triple digits here with the heat index. Yikes! I don't believe they get any drunker than everyone else in the world. Where men are men and the sheep are scared. Not! Scottish people are very nice people. Who wouldn't want to be friends with someone Scottish or live in Scotland? 💕 Thanks Mosco! Awesome video. Have a great week. ☺💜

Love the t shirt!

The Scotts I know appears to be closer to their families than I'm used to seeing in the U.S. and focus more on history and personal culture as well. As for fighting me... You WIN! :-D

i’m from m New York & they say we are mean, not true! But stay out of way during rush hours when we are commuting home or to work😬😬😬😬

I love Haggis very tasty and the best is to be got in Edinburgh, I would love to get a bottle of Buckfast.

"THAT ONE'S TRUE. NEXT" 😂😅😂

Haggis is great. So is Irn Bru, red puddin suppers, beef sausages, morning rolls, buttery rolls, single malt whisky.... and I'm a half Scot.

I like the shirt!

American baby boomers Love Scotland cause of our childhood memories and ! The biggest stereotype of Scots in TV and movies of the 60s is that they are warm and friendly people as opposed to the French , who can be cold and prickly! Sean Connery shaped our view of Scotland , from the Legend of Darbie O Gill to James Bond ! Everyone in the US was addicted to the TV show "the Highlander" and we all cherished "Braveheart," and cried at the end! Scotland , more then any other EU nation , is a real dream fantasy for most in the US !

No bagpipes Stereotypes? I am so disappointed! I love bagpipes. :)

One stereotype I've heard about the Scottish is that you are all great storytellers, and that storytelling is a big part of the culture when Scots are gathered together in groups. Usually it's said that these stories are always very creative, epic, and often embellished a bit for effect. I love hearing this, and I hope it's true! 💖

In America, we don't have the kilts and haggis stereotype it's more like the angry Scotsman stereotype.

I love your t-shirt. It gave me a good laugh. So often humor is based on truth...

I love that shirt! Mosco I had an Irn Bru at the local annual Highland festival today. Loved it! My first one.

Heat stroke at 24°C? HAHAHAHA. It gets so hot here in Vegas that my thermostat is literally set higher than that to cool us down. I used to work construction in 45°C. That's how I got heat stroke.

God.. you're accent is enchanting.

I commented some time ago how much my state- Indiana- resembles Scotland; same size, same population, same average income, and so many cultural things in common. But I do have to say the weather you spoke of is where we're different. Indiana is a land of extremes, compared to Scotland: snow, Maximum in a single storm: 16.1 inches; Maximum in one season: 58.2 inches... also temperature: Highest temperature ever in Indianapolis: 106, Lowest temperature: Minus 27 (not counting wind chill)- but here's the kicker for you: Greatest temperature change during a calendar day: 58 degrees!! Now, while I'm sure it gets hot and cold in Scotland, here's a weather record I think you don't want to try for: "Historically, the most destructive tornadoes strike in March and April. June holds the record for the most tornadoes in Indiana on any given day, 37, and for the most in a single month, 44. Both records were set in 1990, which is also the year for the most tornadoes in the state, 49." All this just goes to establish the reason for a Hoosier stereotype: laughing out loud at weather forecasts!

I’m from Kentucky, USA, so I know about stereotypes. You have a beautiful country rich in history. You must be very proud! From the scots I talk to here in the u.s it doesn’t seem they don’t teach you much about your rich history. Probably the English! And by the way, that’s the stereotype I hear the most. Is that Scotland doesn’t care for the English. Couldn’t say I blame you there!

Lol the threats to harm someone is one of those stereotypes

I'm call wierd at every turn so I'm not sure if there is an American stereotype I fit. I mean I don't even have a southern accent and I've lived in the south all my life.

You are literally the Scottish version of my best female friend!

I'm a Canadian who's been to Scotland and lives in America. .. I liked haggis and the people are super friendly! The weather in general was not too hot or cold, I stayed in Edinburgh. I'd love to visit again

I was in Glasgow 3 days ago during your 2 days of Summer. Didn't leave the park, just talked to the students and had a good time! Also, you guys are a bit violent! I saw like 3 major fights. PS, love the shirt! Fell in love with the streets of Edinburgh and fell in love with the people of Glasgow.

i had all the stereo i am drinking now oops love haggis and had your breakfast for my Sunday dinner love a fry up and half a loaf of bread i'm kinda lucky eat what i want and not put weight on been 6 st 10 since i was 16 now 61 lol keep up the good work your the best

Just got back from Scotland. We absolutely LOVED IT! The people couldn't have been any nicer and of course we lucked out with the weather. No rain! It was just so beautiful in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Thanks for your hospitality...

Love learning about you and your fun country! Thank you so much

your Scottish accent is strong in this video hehe

Good job mosco haste ye back😉😉

You’ll definitely get your looks and your charming ness (and cussing) from scotland!

Part Scottish-Irish American here. You are so dang funny !!

Your amazing! 🏆 Your so talented! 🔥 This video is so creative! 👍⭐🙌

WHat's wrong with kilts and haggis? Both are good.

Great video Mosco. You always hold my interest and I really loved your shirt. Hope you have a bonnie week.

I often wondered if your brother and sister listen outside your bedroom door as you do these vlogs? Also, "...we do not abuse [the sheep] like the Welsh..." I'm American and even I thought that was funny. =D

Did you ever see Nessie, or magical fairies?

I hate Haggis and I moved to a hot place and brought the constant rain with me lol

stereotyoe, basically all scotish women are attractive... uhhh yes, then there's that adorable accent, im sold

oh hey it was a while ago but thx for putting me in your q and a

Canada... We are swamped with snow all year around. We live in igloos. It is bush country everywhere. Etc... I want to personally encourage Scottish men to wear kilts whenever possible or appropriate. ;)

I'll agree that Scots are friendly and generous! I honestly found you guys friendlier than my countrymen here in Canada when I visited - and I like to think that we Canadians are pretty friendly. In Canada, the general stereotypes are that we live in igloos (lol no,) we ride moose (double lol no,) it's snowy all the time (big lol no, we have deserts here plus 40 C summers in places,) we all eat poutine (mostly yes,) and that we all say 'eh' (nope) and pronounce the word 'about' as 'aboot' (100% frag no.)

oh and 13% of scotland is ginger (me included ahaha) and 10% of irish are ginger aha

my new hero

Iryn brew and fried Mars bars? That's another stereotypical Scottish thing... Oh and that we melt in sunlight. ;)

"I'll fuckin' fight anybody that disagrees with me on this."

Love when you bring the sass Mosco! ...ney drunker than anyone else 😉

Brilliant shirt Lassie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👌 great video

I'm from Texas so there are Loads of stereotypes there. I fit a few of them in that I have a pretty impressive southern drawl. (I've got an accent tag video coming out about that soon.) I occasionally have semi-big hair, but only cause it's curly. I own a cowboy hat and boots but only wear them on occasion. I do have a gun but it's only to shoot varmints or wolves or something like that. I live in the woods and don't own livestock, not even a horse. I am too pale to tan and hate the sun and hot weather, so not much there. I'm Really looking forward to getting to Edinburgh this afternoon. (I've already been in England for about 10 days.) I'm saying bye to the family and the train station and heading North to Scotland on my own. (So excited!)

Where do you work that they feed you breakfast? That only happens at places like Google and Apple here in America. Or the food industry.

One of the stereotypes for my area (Indiana) is that we're all super into basketball- probably the greatest basketball film in history is called Hoosiers (what you call people from Indiana) afterall. I find it's more true than it's not, though I get bored out of my gourd watching basketball personally.

the english on made me sooo hard ahahaha even more so cause my OH is english aha

Lol, 24 degrees! Please be careful when you visit my state in the USA (Arizona). Wouldn't want you falling into the Canyon!

Apparently, the Scotts also have a fine sense of irony. 😉

I'm from California in the USA. One Stereotypes for Los Angeles California is everyone talks slow like a dumb surfer. It is kinda of true. Now When I was younger I use to talk fast and still do at time. Well I was put in speech classes and such to make me talk slower. I only can talk slow sometimes. Here people hate it when one talks fast. I think people in California are kinda daft and can't understand when a person talks faster.

I need that shirt😂😂😂

apparently the red hair can be attributed to Norse invaders. So it's not even a historically Irish or Scottish thing.

Another great video. Love that shirt.

I understand half of what you say but I love it still.

24 C is 75.2 F for those that are confused. Cause I was very concerned and then I had a chuckle. How can you be Americans' hero if you get sick on a normal day here, Mosco? lol

not sure about the conversion but here in the summer it has gotten to 117 ° Fahrenheit at the present it's 85 ° , in the southeast of Georgia USA most everyone from other parts of the world think because we talk slow that we are slow not true at all some of us talk kinda fast !!☺☺ enjoy your day Wee Lassy !! ☺☺

We have lots of Stereotypes here in Arkansas. Like we all are barefoot hillbillies that play the banjo,make moonshine and everyone has a shotgun. Not everyone in Arkansas is this way but yes there is some that fit the stereotype . Course this stereotype is thought of in most southern states.

I love that shirt! So fun!

I keep seeing you wear Zelda stuff. I'm a huge Zelda fan and would totally watch you take a break from Scottish stuff and see you talk Zelda. Or perhaps play Zelda as a Stereotypical Scottish person.

Lol it's 30 degrees Celsius in my room as I watch is from Ontario Canada ☺

Lol this was great!

haha im in the south east of the USA and it stays steady of 37 Celsius in summer and was -10 Celsius for a week straight in winter, but for the most part it was 24, and we are going through 2 weeks of non stop raining, flooding hard core and with more coming, but being a southern we do talk to everyone, i was watching a channel out of London and they said they hate that Americans haha

I hear you about the rain; I was born in Humboldt County in California - the heart of the Coastal Redwood belt - and I remember as a kid one week where it literally never stopped raining. It wasn't a constant downpour, generally just a light drizzle - but still, it didn't stop for a week. (The redwoods love drizzle and fog because when mature they're so tall they can't actually "pump" water from their roots to their tops!) As to that - *I* will fight anyone who claims there's a wood *more* beautiful that Redwood burl; there may be some _as_ beautiful, but none _MORE_ so! :) [My dad was involved in redwood logging for many years, so that might just explain my fondness for it....] www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1920&bih=1104&ei=OVoLW8OULd-x0PEPneGW-A4&q=redwood+burl&oq=redwood+burl As for the kilt ... my favorite response I've ever heard to the tired old question of "what do you wear under your kilt?" is one word: "Boots." ;)

Here in australia we got awesome stereotypes about us and hate to break it but most of them ain't real. Australia is all desert and hot all the time: this one i can see where it comes from but it isn't completely true, along the east coast from queensland down to tazzy is very green and it even snows here in some places. While it is hotter here on average there are a lot of cold areas too. All australian dress in singlets and thongs: again can see where this come from but no. It is true we do dress in shorts and shirts a lot cause it does get very hot here but like i said it can get cold as well. We will dress in business suits or uniforms for work and nice rugged up jackets in the cold times, just like anywhere else we have a large sence of fashions. Australians spend all their time at the beach: some people do and the beaches can get crowded but not everyone does, some people have never even seen it before in their lives. Australia is small in size: a lot of tourist think they can just drive around australia in under a month, you would have to have the man in black car to do that. It takes years to travel around the country, to give you a bit of perspective new south wales one of our smaller states takes 15 hours with no stopping to cross it. If you want to see sites you should allow for two years to see the entire country. I suggest to pick a few places you want to see and spend time around that area.

Love the T-Shirt!!!!

Love your T-shirt!

I love your shirt 💚😍

Just wanted to say that I truly enjoy your videos and I adore your accent. Also, are you a fan of Lindsey Stirling?

24 C (75 F) is what I set my A/C to, lol

I’m Scottish, Irish, German... American... love haggis... & I wear kilts! I have 5... but sadly I’ve gotten to fat for them😖

American born, but deep Scottish roots.. :) I hope to make it there one day.. thanks for the video. . :)

Am in Edinburgh. Love the wet weather. A wee bit sun is no bad. But i tend to stay in when its to warm. Lol. LOVE haggis. Mmm. Tattie scones, black pudding, fruit pudding, square sausage, fried eggs, link sausage, and beans. Yummy. Lol. Do i hate the english. Well i am scottish so i have to be. Hehe. Drunk all the time. Na only drunk on happiness.

Own a kilt cos I do highland dancing, I speak Gaidhlig and I love haggis and Irn Bru

Well, I'm an American. I own a rifle, I do like cheese burgers, I don't drink alcohol, we have a whole mess of wineries around me but I don't like wine, what are some other american sterotypes specific to NYS?

I love that shirt!

All Canadians always say "eh". I'm 22 and this is the first time I've ever used it.

I was looking for something to listen English, preferably with a Scottish accent. :) Thank you.

Hey I'm visiting Edinburgh this August and I'm very much looking forward to it. Recently I've heard of no see ums/midges in Scotland. How bad is it? I'm a bug magnet.

Don't abuse your sheep like the Welsh do. Never heard that one before.

I used to hate haggis but I now love it

My favorite American stereotypes are GUNS'N'FREEDUM! We have a lot of one thing, and then there's freedom.

THE HIGHLAND CAFE JUST BURNED,I AM SETTING DOWN THE ROAD.ITS IN OILDALE CA.

The sheep may be safe, but what about those Shetland ponies?

Great shirt

I get 30°c regularly in Florida xD
