  1. Some commitment to the bit lol

    (Yes, its cringe, but still amusing)

  3. “Who are you to say if English is a real language” what is bro on.

  4. Ayy, I know this guy

    He’s cool, little cringy, doesn’t show up to family dinner enough

  7. So he was responding to someone who (a) was gatekeeping the use of tartan and the wearing of kilts but (b) didn’t believe Scots or Gaelic were real languages? That’s an interesting combination of positions to take.

  8. I like this! Shows the FM is up for a bit of a laugh and spreads a good message.

  10. Gaelic is a dialect of Manx and Scots is a dialect of Shetlandic, clearly

  11. Wow this went places I wasn’t expecting. Guy is a bit cringe but the rest more than makes up for it

  12. I heard a couple talking to each other using one or the other in a gift shop in Arran.

    I wasn’t tabhanging on purpose, but it sounded like almost English words with a bit more gruff to it.

    I’ve heard Welsh before and you can tell that’s definitely different, this was similar to english but sounded different enough that I couldn’t make out the words, and not just like in an accent sort of way, I was in the army way back when, so I’m used to a variety of Scottish accents. Would that have been Scots?

  13. He reminds me of the wee tit that presents Catchphrase. Can’t stand him either.

  15. I’ve had a hell of a time finding my families tartan. I can find the hunting but not everyday ceremonial

  16. The nature of our experiences and life is purely subjective. If you think that you’re nae able to speak for aw of Scotland, then what makes you think that one other man, no matter his position (elected or unelected) he is simply one man and his opinion carries as much weight as any other.

    I know what I think on every conceivable subject I’ve had time or opportunity to consider, but I wouldn’t pretend to be someone so important as to have a superior opinion to anybody else.

    If you’re interested, probably naw, then I think kilts and tartan are for anyone, Scots and Gaelic are both distinct languages. There! Naebedy gies a shite.

    Naebedy asked wee Wullie Winkie here to run upstairs and doonstairs to waste the time of the first minister wie some stupid questions that he probably posed to hisself.

  17. I keep seeing posts from r/kilts on my feed for some reason, and have actually seen someone say they don’t wear tartan “out of respect for the Clans” 😂

  18. This is one of the things in life where I disagree with people who no more than me. I know that sounds silly. It’s just Scot’s now is closer to English now. It evolved with it, rather than on its own. I don’t speak Scot’s yet understand what they say, apart from a few words, which would be the same as slang in any language. Had a friend who did Spanish at uni and spent time in southern America, and she disturbed the same thing there.

    Can someone with more knowledge explain why I am wrong on this.

  24. I dont have a problem with anyone wearing tartan and/or a kilt, so long as it IS tartan, the kilt fits and is worn properly.

    And spouting shite about being “Scaddish” and from the clan McYank gets you a kick in the cunt.

  25. Has no one else picked up that the comment was about Scots, English and… Gallic. Gallic? As in what the Gauls spoke. What does a Roman era culture in what is now France have to do with it?

  27. The only reason for this to exist is so I can see limmy watching it

  29. Very Limmy using his West end twat student accent.

  30. Whilst I agree with the patter of this video John Swinney’s a fud
