“givin’ it laldi” has got to be my fave phrase like we were in the middle of a market in france today and this brass band was playing n my dad just turns to me and goes “the band’s giving it laldi” and they were, they really were!!!
at dobbies today there was a man dressed up as captain america collecting money for charity and he was having a conversation with a kid, in character but with a full scottish accent

Scotland has the “gayest Parliament in the world.”
8% of politicians in the Scottish Parliament are openly gay, lesbian or bisexual. That’s not counting polticians’ managers or assistants, and I know for a fact many of them are not straight. Also, of the five main party leaders, three are gay, lesbian or bisexual, and three are women.
Scotland only lifted the ban on homosexuality in 1980. In 36 years, my country has gone from having homosexuality as a criminal offence, to having 8% of its Parliament openly gay, lesbian or bisexual. That’s a lot of progress in a short space of time.
This is one of the many reasons I am proud to be Scottish.
