So fasten your seatbelts, you're in for the ride of your life. Just let us finish this haggis tikka masala first. 7 We re programmed to start drinking at certain times Twitter: @liam_mcroy If you question this, we'll usually say, "but that's just what you do." E.g. "Why are you getting shit-your-pants drunk on the train?" "Because that's just what you do." 8 We ll force-feed you something called Irn-Bru if you ever have a hangover View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @muggleborn_ravenclaw It's a traditional delicious combination of girders, orange food colouring, and ????. You'll need to learn to love it if you're going to keep up with our train drinking. 9 You probably won t be able to understand us at least at first Twitter: @JonathanOHaara This will cause a lot of confusion, especially when we're trying to fire into you. "Gies a winch." "I'm sorry, I don't have any specialist lifting equipment to hand." 10 But even if you don t understand what we re saying our accent will get you pregnant Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF Channel 4 / Giphy Even if you're a man. We're just that sexy. 11 We ll make you go to things called ceilidhs Twitter: @BorlandCeilidh These are hot, exhausting dances that are fairly baffling to outsiders, or anyone who doesn't speak the lingo, so we'll naturally take you to one on a date. 12 Oh and our idea of a fun day trip is to climb up a fucking mountain or some shit Twitter: @WRunstrong "Hey, do you want to hang out on Saturday?" "Sure! Netflix and chill?" "No, Ben Nevis and nearly die." 13 Our idea of what counts as beach weather might not really match yours either Twitter: @PetraTW It's a Scottish tradition to go to the beach in March, huddle under a tarpaulin, and pretend to be having a good time. Sorry in advance. 14 Our weird behaviour at sporting events can be a bit hard to get used to View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @martynazarzeczna "Why have you got a fake penis hanging out of the bottom of your kilt, Rab?" "Because Scotland are playing Croatia." 15 We ll get annoyed with you for the weirdest reasons Twitter: @philipnormal Like calling it a potato scone instead of a tattie scone. Top tip: Keep a notebook handy at all times so you can keep track of the things you shouldn't say. 16 And you might find that we don t even like things that you thought we loved View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @lyssiehoff Please add Braveheart to your list of things you shouldn't say or mention. 17 We ll try to force you to adopt our culture View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @blessed.me And get a wee bit offended if you don't want to wear a kilt, or get wasted on the 15:45 First Scotrail service from Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street. 18 And we re not traditionally romantic View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @rosie_marsh But you always know we love you really. We show it with our gestures (like bringing you Maccy D's and Irn-Bru in bed), not our sweary words. 19 But don t be fooled – we can surprise you and pull out all the romantic stops when it counts View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @megzah2428 Not pictured: the "happy wedding day, bawbag" card he gave her earlier.
