Golf was invented in Scotland. I'd take it over bagpipes anyday.

The best sound I ever heard bagpipes make was when they hit the bottom of a dumpster.

The Munchy Box??

 

[Penmon]

Islay, home of peaty tasting single malt scotch and some of the greatest food in Scotland and the whiskery festival.

I will not say these are better, but ought to be on a best of list, along with your fine items.

1. Scottish Eggs
2. Skye
3. The Highlands
4. Lobster and Chips

Bagpipes, it's either in your blood or you won't get it. I'm predominantly Scottish with some Native American mixed in. So I love them.

4 Bagpipes.

The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scots as a joke. The Scots never got the joke.

Max! Shetland Sheepdog. Shetland Islands are on the North end of Scotland. Other three "bests" are whatever the group consensus decides.

The Romans gave the bagpipes to the Scots and Irish. Italian shepherds used them to communicate in the mountains. I still tear up when I hear the Pipes. My grandparents were Glaswegians. I love the Auld Sod. My favorite? Scones and Scottish shortbread!

Robert Burns, steak and kidney pie and my mother!

Don't forget haggis.

Sort of looks like a miniature golf course on steroids

...Tape...

I'm a big fan of the Proclaimers. Love their music. And like Deathgrip, I like the tape too.

Don't forget sneaking under pay toilets.

Most Americans don't have much nice to say about St. Andrews especially after they play it.

I was just about to post something about Scotland. I'm Scottish BTW. A good friend of mine is working over there and about to return back to the states. He called a few nights ago and the conversation of guns came up, of course. He said that the city he is working in has the highest rate of murder in Europe. He walks to work, a twenty minuet walk. He cannot carry even the smallest pocket knife, if he does and gets caught, it's years in the slammer with a hefty fine. Weird, stupid and massively dumb.

Anyway, I drink Scotch and respect the common folks there but disrespect their gov. Lots of relatives buried there.
