While browsing the news I found that Scotland has been voted manliest country 
and damn right!
http://www.scotlandnow.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/heritage/scotland-named-manliest-country-world-3518245
See the bottom for a list of names you might recognise, including some of the manliest men on TV and film alongside other famous people.
I also found a list of common stereotypes, most of which I get asked about a lot lol
http://www.scotlandnow.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/12-assumptions-people-make-you-4740309
But I also found something interesting...a test. I'm interested to see how people do in this test so I've got one below
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Here's a Scottish test for you, split into two parts. The first will be a test to see how many of the Scottish words below you can figure out the meaning of. The second part is a bunch of jokes based on Scottish words/pronunciation. See if you can figure them out too!
1. Steamin'
2. Greetin'
3. Having a swatch
4. Baltic
5. Mince (not the meat product, used as an adjective)
6. Bird (not the animal)
7. Gaggin' for something
8. Loaded
9. Tea (not the drink)
10. Piece (not "a part of something")
1. Ten cows in a field. Which one is closest to Iraq?
Coo eight.
2. Did you hear about the guy who liked eating bricks and cement?
He's awa' noo.
3. After announcing he's getting married, a boy tells his pal he'll be wearing a kilt at the ceremony. "And what's the tartan?" asks his mate. "Oh, she'll be wearing a white dress".
4. A Glasgow man, drunk and out of money, is walking down Argyle Street, when he spots a guy tinkering with the engine of his car. "Whit's up Jimmy?" he asks.
"Piston broke," he replies.
"Aye, same as masel!".
