Hiya
I am french and my BF is from your hometown where I spend 3 years of my life and OMG that post is so true. I love the green light stuff, now we live in France and he gets upset when the pedestrian light is green but drivers still cross!!
Anyway your blog is fabulous…
I would add myself “you are scottish if you say in the shop/street/buses : taaaaa, thanks mate/pal/hen/pet and you are scottish if you are always polite and never jump the queue !!

You might be Scottish if you live in the US and the primary reason you go to the big Irish musical festival is to beg to buy a flat of Irn Bru from a food vendor because you can’t purchase it anywhere else locally.

You might be Scottish if you insist on making black bun for Hogmanay when you KNOW that none of your family will eat it and it’ll still be in the hoose for Burns’ Night!

I know your spell checker exploded — Sauchiehall Street is missing an a.

you might also be Scottish if you can sing, or at least recognize, at least three completely different songs named Caledonia.

Can I still claim my half-Scottishness if I barely qualify according to this list? I’m starting to tear up here…

Shoot! I was hoping to be Scottish. But apparently I’m just a wanna-be.

The post is great – but the comments are just as great. Having been to England and Ireland (like most of the US, I claim Irish ancestry – but many generations back) I can understand the longing for home. But the food there makes me crazy.

It might be prudent of me (I only use that word to sound posh and well-versed) to mention that the eggy goop used for french toast dissnae contain vanilla essence. For the record: I’ve tried it with syrup and icing sugar, it was nasty.
