Hi lovelies, in this video I am talking about 18 Scottish Culture Shocks هجده شوک فرهنگی مهاجرت به اسکاتلند when you move to Scotland. I am going through my list of things that I found interesting and surprised, when I moved from my Country Iran to Scotland.
Please share your experiences of moving to new country in comment section. I would love to hear about your personal experiences.
1- Scottish Accent and dialogues are difficult to understand, but you will get to used to that and actually you will enjoy it. Scottish people speak English but different version/kind of English . Some accents are easier to understand than others. There are specific Scottish words that Scottish use in their daily life and if you tell those words to an American or Australian, they have no idea what are you talking about. Like: potato=tatties, child or kid= wean, lake= loch,
2- Greetings: If Scottish people ask you how you doing, it does not mean you tell them about how are you doing. They are not interested in exactly how are you. It is just a phrase.
3- Driving in Scotland roads and streets is on the left side with small and narrow roads. Drivers are Chilled, polite, and careful.
4- Scottish people are just fantastic welcoming, super friendly, kind, and hospitable.
5- England VS Scottish currency (money)= if you travel from Scotland to England, sometimes they do not take Scottish notes and you should change it to English Pound.
6-Most of the houses in Scotland have chimneys. Basically, the function of the chimney is to direct the smoke away from the fire and out of the house.
7- You can experience 4 seasons in a day or let say in a few hours. Mostly it is cloudy, rainy, windy and lack of enough sun shine.
8- Scottish people have great sense of humour that maybe you do not get, and even maybe you take it personally and some people feel offence but do not take it seriously and learn to laugh..
9-People take seriously queues here in Scotland. You should never cut in line, I do not anyway. You might not realise how many queues might be. Queues like bus queue, grocery queue in open space, pharmacy queue.
10-The Scots drink tea with milk a lot .
11- Scottish water is the best in the world. No need for expensive mineral water

13-Maybe it is better to call Scotland, lake land, because there are lots of sea lochs and in most of cities and towns you can find lake and river. Like Loch Lomond. Loch Ness monster
14- Great Scottish inventors like: Scotsman John Logie Baird invented TV., Sir Alexander Fleming is perhaps one of the best known Scots, thanks to his discovery of penicillin, telephone was invented by Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell, Dunlop’s famous tyres is that of John Boyd Dunlop, who was born in Ayrshire.
