After having spent some time in Scotland I've found that things are not always the way I had pictured them. In the spirit of tearing down the stereotypes I have come up with the following, Letterman-esque list. Hope it amuses...
By-the-way, suffice it to say that not much, if anything, should be taken seriously from this list...
| 10 | Castles all have satellite TV. |
| 9 | Haggis taste just like chicken. |
| 8 | Actual weight of a caber: less than 5 pounds. |
| 7 | Highlanders don't get pissed when you call their Sporran a purse. |
| 6 | Castle security: Moats out - Retinal scans in. |
| 5 | Loch Ness too cold for Nessie hunt on Jet Skis. |
| 4 | Pink haired clansmen with pierced nipples. |
| 3 | Modern bagpipes play 100 digitally re-mastered Highland favorites at the push of a button. |
| 2 | The guys all wear pants (if you know what I mean). |
| And... "There can be only one" number one disappointing Scottish stereotype... | |
| 1 | No one ever carries a sword and says, "I'm Connor MacSomething from the clan MacSomething." |
