As an English bloke from Manchester I have nothing but love for our Scottish neighbours. I've been to Scotland many times especially the western Isles I have always been made to feel welcome. The people are always warm and friendly and I have not a bad word to say about them. ❤ ❤
🙌🙌
That's good to hear. The Western Isles are stunning, and the only place that I`ve seen cows swimming in the sea! You may be familiar with the Gaelic saying: Ceud Mìle Fàilte. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, you are welcome in our country.
Well bless you Allan lad 💙
As a Kurd I love Scottish people🏴❤️ they are all brilliant
Slàinte mhath!
Should be retitled what southern middle class English think of the Scottish.
@davidhull3652 Exactly. Comments on here saying that English people are rude and ignorant about Scotland, it just goes to show that they haven't even set foot in places like Yorkshire or Newcastle. People in Newcastle really like the Scots and compliment them.
@@bunchberry9957 It's London, the South and South-East where the English seem to be the most rude. The further norther you go the better it gets.
Absolute rubbish. The vast majority of all people, whatever nationality, are lovely. You can not generalise in this way. You would have to have met 100,000 people who have immediately treated you badly for no reason at all to come up with that kind of statement as fact. Get a grip.
The interviews like these is the better way to make videos which can attract the public atentión.
Thanks 🙌
I am Spanish- Peruvian. I have been living in Scotland for 8 years. Scottish people are lovely and very welcome. In my opinion, the more peculiar or characteristic thing of Scottish people is the Scottish English accent. That's why in my experience have been very difficult to progress in my comunication. By the way, I loved this video, and it has been nice hearing people talking about different subjects. I have learned a lot of vocabulary. I will follow up now!
I went to live in Peru and Spain and found them to be lovely too. The lesson here is that you should travel the world, as most ‘people’ are genuinely hospitable, friendly and generous to strangers. The problem arises when the ‘media’ and KZheadrs try to whip up hatred for money and ‘likes’.
I love Scottish people and their accent. I’m an Englishman but I prefer to say British because we are all alike.
It’s insane to me that so many of them have never been to Scotland. It’s so close!
But yet so far😊, its a huge part of the Isle but so sparsely populated, with seperate Education system, seperate but similar Health Service, Seperate laws. They don't intend on being ignorant and would maybe understand Scotland better if they did visit instead of going by media hearsay alone.
@@tommcmanamon8327 Its cheaper to use them partially because of different school holidays.
Yeh, I was thinking that. Not all English live in the south. How many hours does it take to take a train to Glasgow or Edinburgh...(the Athens of the North), one of the most beautiful and most historical cities? the UK. If you're living in Liverpool or Manchester, it's as far as it is to London. The fact that Scots are regarded by some as being "tight" is rubbish...there more generous than the average Londoner. This is coming from the past when Scotland was very poor compared to England, and they simply took care of the money they had. Actually I think the Scots are mostly closer to the Irish.
@@mikefraser4513Well, the ‘average Londoner’ isn’t from England.
I can't really say anything, because I'm from Scotland, but I've never been to Wales.
The ignorance is phenomenal and the understanding of Nicola Sturgeon is dangerous, showing the power of the media and their agenda.
Scots vote in droves for a National party that is bitter towards the English.
The understanding of Nicola is, dangerous. Yes she was dangerously inept.
@@ericwilson8000by what measure? Even the Tory, Ian Dale, described her as one of the most outstanding politicians of her generation. The fact the Unionist parties and media have attacked her relentlessly for a decade shows your opinion to be utter drivel.
@@ericwilson8000 I've yet to read anything from an English person to describe in what way Nicola was bad, at least for them. She had no power over English policies. She's never made derogatory comments about English as a people. Her "crime" is to stand up for the interests of Scottish people. To take us from a situation where we have negligible influence in government, to have our own government instead. English people are deeply offended by this because they view not being in control of Scotland has a insult to them. At least that's the only takeaway I can get since, you guys hated her predecessor, and her successor, just as much. You view Scotland as your property, and feel attacked when Scots stand up for ourselves and desire independence.
Spot on!!
I"m from the South of England and have visited Scotland many times! Scottish people are great, just don't talk about politics!
We are of course proud Scots. like all nationalities, But be sure we love our English neighbours, we have common bonds & we Scots would always defend England in times of need. 💙♥
I’m Scottish and I’m aggressive, ginger and an alcoholic. There’s no smoke without fire. Stay away you will hate it here.
🤣 Brillyint
Again and again it's weird to me (a German) to see British people who have never been to a particular part or in general other parts of the UK. I have been to different parts like Edinburgh, York, Hadrian's Wall, Lake District for a day, Birmingham, Bristol, Colchester, Brighton and a little tour around Wales with Cardiff, Swansea, Abergavenny, Barminster, Criccieth, Llangollen and the Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa, as I should say now). How come people I met in the past 30+ years who were British have not been around like that. I feel bad for not having been to Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Cornwall, any of the islands, or the Highlands or Northern Ireland yet but I'm just German/an anglophile visitor. They are Brits born and bred and sometimes have seen less than me. That is so weird. When I was little my parents took me and my brother to different places in Germany so that we know what our country looks like in different regions. And what we didn't manage to see then, I went to see later. There are still towns and cities I haven't seen, but at least I've been to every region. I can't understand this attitude of "no, sadly I've never been there (but I am also not really intererested in changing that)" and the speaker is around 60 - 65 years old. What are they doing with their lives?
Most will go to London, but there is no reason for someone to really go to another city, if it is very like your own. It's probably cheaper to get a plane to Europe now, than a train to somewhere in UK, and the weather will be nicer.
I agree, I’m Canadian and I was thinking the same thing, there looks like so much to see in the UK why don’t the British travel and see their own country more?? Even just to learn history and architecture for example cathedrals . Also landscapes. But they’ve been to Paris and other continental destinations several times maybe but not places in their own land.
So much like Indians! I have seen many of my compatriots who traveled the world but not visit other parts or regions of India!
Absolutely. I get surprised when I hear people have never been even to Edinburgh. Such a pretty city
Scotland is Scotland. Britain is an island not a country. I am Scottish, never British.
From Scotland, I feel that its the guttural way of speaking that comes over as sounding harsh or aggressive. We are actually a really friendly bunch.
Do not apologise for the way we speak!!!!
Thank you i follows you from Egypt ❤
Thanks for your support 🙌
I wish to point out that the interviewer specifically asked these people what are the Scottish stereotypes and they answered with typical stereotypes which we've all heard before. The interviewees weren't being prejudiced themselves. In fact, quite the opposite. The montage of clips at the beginning makes things look worse.
a lot of the stereotypes are from a Russ Abbott Sketch which for quite a long time was the only "Scottish" thing on TV, Russ Abbot was from Chester in England. kzhead.info/sun/gcN8l5uaimmOi4E/bejne.htmlsi=3PfZx21SB0dKfDyi
The drinking stereotype is true, unfortunately. Sometimes I feel like the only man in Scotland who doesn't drink regularly.
I first started to be a regular with Easy German some years ago , which I now visit every week to listen to their Podcast .I have ventured here just out of curiosity and it turns out to be real good. I'm due in Scotland next august... Would be also interesting to get to know what the scots really think about the English .
Thank you for your venture 🙌 Would love to make this episode... hope you enjoy your time in Scotland, where are you visiting?
@@EasyEnglishVideos We'll have only a short time in Scotland ( a ten days stay)we will first stop southeast of Edinburgh , at a stone 's throw by train. Because of the summer festival and the soaring prices , we chose to book out of the city . Next we'll be driving to Stirling for a five day stay in the region .I wish I could have gone as far as Skye and Mull but I save this for the next trip ! Für unser letzter Schritt werden wir nach Yorkshire Dales fahren.Von diesem Landkreis ( York und die Heimat der Brontë -Schwestern ) habe ich seit Jahren davon geträumt.Dann kehren wir mit der Hull-Rotterdam Fährelinie nach Heimat.
That sounds great @@christianayme7316 Isi and I initially wanted to visit the Dales too before deciding on the Peak District. Will be a good mix of city and nature! 🤩
mcLeods are from the Isle of Lewis and the Isle of Skye.
No, Macleods are from the western isles. The mcleods are Irish, hence the mc. Mac in Scotland
@@loxism72 Not true about the Mac/Mc = Scottish/Irish. Mac, Gaelic for "son", is a common element of many Scottish surnames. Mc is always an abbreviation of Mac, it also used to be abbreviated M' although this spelling is now not common. In an early book on Highland music, the author spelled his own name three different ways on the first two pages: MacDonald, McDonald, and M'Donald. Black's "The Surnames of Scotland" and MacLysaght's "The Surnames of Ireland" both treat Mac the same way -- as the only and original spelling.
@@molecatcher3383 here we go. English people telling Scots what's what. No, I'm correct and Scots gaelic is different from Irish.
If we think of the huge amount of actors and actresses that are Scottish and are incredibly good looking, you would think they are all artistic and extremely good looking! I know that can’t be 100% but sure seems like that! I am glad Scotland is now becoming popular, maybe because of Outlander? ! ? Anyway, they have the best English accent, in my opinion!
looove Scottish accent
A Scottish accent is a Scottish accent not an English accent.
@@redpop99I think they meant an accent of the English language
We don't really need a US fantasy TV show to make our mark.
I can confirm that not all Scots are artistic and good looking.
Scotland is the most beautiful country on earth, but I will always be British first. I like the mix of Wales, England, Scotland and NI. I hate any form of Nationalism as along with religion it has caused so many wars in the past and in the present. Lang may yer lum reek 👍
Nationalism? Oh you mean what the rest of the world does too? Which country doesn't want to be in charge of itself? But it's only wrong if Scotland wants the same democratic rights? Doesn't want to have whatever governments England elects every five years? Well feck that!
"They're all gingers" 😂
I`m Scottish and found that funny. However genetic studies have shown that the red hair gene is more prevalent here than anywhere else on the planet 🤣
I got news for you pal...if you look at every single person on the planets hair under a microscope you will find it is all red.
@@markwilkie3677 Specifically South East Scotland where 70% of Red Heads in the World are.
You should listen to a band called The Haivers and the song called ( Scotland's Fire ) it gives you an insight into what Scotland has given the world with everyday life
It would be more interesting to hear what Scots think about the English!!!!!!!!
Incoming
I've recieved more negativity South of the line than I've ever seen dished out North of it.
Oh boy...
Scotland is British the flag has scotland flag in it so this doesn't make sense
Is it really correct to say "You'll get to join myself"?
i am english my grandad was from glasgow and my other grandad was irish
They're the best! :) (As a Scot myself, haha)! ;)
"That's Billy Colony!"
😂😂😂
Is the english prime minister still winston Churchill? Along with their monarch william the 2nd, the English are so knowledgeable about other cultures. But then again thats the welsh for your.
Lot of drunks in Canada, too.
Makes sense, because so many Canadians have Scottish roots.
There are a lot of ironies regarding the English stereotypical view of Scottish people, and make no mistake those stereotypical views are ages old and mostly meant to be derogatory. (1) Scotland is full of kilt wearers - The irony of this statement is that a brand new kilt package can cost anywhere between £295 and upwards of £1000. It is highly unlikely that all Scots are walking around in this highly expensive gear, and it is questionable just how many English people that make this claim could themselves afford a brand new kilt package. (2) All Scots eat Haggis - The irony of this statement is that a lot of Scots one day of each year actually do celebrate Burns night by having a Burns Supper. A Burns Supper is traditionally served up with a dram of Scotch Whisky, or even Whisky added to the Haggis as a Whisky sauce part of the cooking. Now the cheapest bottle of Scotch Whisky you will find from Asda comes in at around £7 for a bottle of McKendrick's, and that is just for a 70cl bottle. It is highly unlikely that all Scots are having Burns Suppers everyday, and it is questionable just how many English people could afford to celebrate Burns night on a daily basis. (3) Scots call eachother Jimmy - The irony of this statement is that it is totally untrue. The Scottish variant for the Hebrew name James, is in fact Jamie, and Jimmy is actually the English variant. It is possible that the misconception arose from the fact that Scots may have at one time greeted English people by referring to them as Jimmy, and this would be because so many English people were called Jimmy. Even the most famous people in Britain from recent times named Jimmy are English in origins. Jimmy Savile, Jimmy Greaves, just to name two. The list goes on. (4) All Scots go around saying "Och Aye the Noo". - The irony of this statement is that there are many English areas where people really do go around over using phrases which can be used to identify them, such as the Liverpudlian "aright la", or the Geordie "way I mon", or the Yorkshire "get t brew on" or any one of many cockney rhyming slang, but it quite simply is not true that any Scot has ever used the phrase "och aye the noo". In fact, the only people ever in this world to use the phrase "och aye the noo" are English people when mocking the Scots. (5) All Scots play bagpipes - The irony of this statement is that bagpipes are amongst the most expensive musical instruments you could possibly find. A brand new set of bagpipes would cost you anywhere between £600 and £8000. It is highly unlikely that all Scots own a set of Bagpipes, and it is questionable whether or not a set of Bagpipes is an item which many English people could afford to keep in their bedrooms. (6) Scotland is full of degeneratives that all eat deep fried mars bars and drink Buckfast. - The irony of this statement is that it mostly refers to the people of Scotland's most poverty stricken and deprived areas. Now a set of four mars bars costs £1.65 at Asda, and the cheapest bottle of Buckfast you will find online is a 75cl bottle at £7.50. Now not only are those lowest denomination of Scots spending £1.65 for four mars bars, but in addition to this they are actually frying them, which has the added cost of purchasing vegetable oil. The cheapest bottle of vegetable oil is £1.75 at Asda. Now, even English people will have to admit that this must just be something those poverty stricken Scots are eating and drinking as snacks, as doctors and scientists would agree that it would not be possible for them to only live on deep fried mars bars and buckfast. So this is something those Scots are enjoying between meals. So, here again, it is highly unlikely that Scotland's lowest denomination of citizens are living such a luxurious lifestyle that they are able to afford such luxurious snacks on a daily basis. It is also highly questionable whether or not most English people that are from council estates could afford to snack like this on a daily basis. As a lot of Scots will be able to attest, the first thing that is likely to happen when they get off a train at Liverpool Lime Street or Manchester Piccadilly, is that they are liable to be approached by a Liverpudlian/Scouser/Scally or Mancunian/Manc asking them if they have a spare ciggy, before proceeding to ask them for a light. I am sure many English people can also attest that this claim is factually true. This gives one the impression that those council estate types from Liverpool and Manchester "are not" feasting on deep fried Mars bars in between main courses, and "are not" washing it down with Buckfast on a daily basis. (6) All Scots are tight. - The irony of this is what? They spend up to £1000 on kilts, They wash down Haggis with Scotch Whisky every night, They all have bagpipes worth upto £8000 in their bedrooms, and even their poorest citizens add additional ingredients to Mars bars, washed down with Buckfast on a daily basis between meals, and they are told they are tight if they do not give English people a ciggy or a light? Do English people realise based upon their own stereotypical views of Scots, just how much Scots must be puting in to society in the way of tax?
It’s not that deep, english dont really care about Scotland and their stereotypes.
As a scotsman myself I'd like to know have you been spying on me 😂
😊
Typical southern English arrogance, to be fair they’d wouldn’t know much about the North of England!
Mitch, Isi, Have you done one about the British on the Welsh or are you going to in the future?
No.... not yet 😉
The welsh are brittish mate
I admit. I met a Scottish girl at my college. Nice girl. Amazing red hair
Albert Einstein said to me…James Clerk Maxwell 👍 🏴😎
They already use scottish inventions, that improved everyone's lives.
If you want to know what the English feel about the Scots then try spending the Scottish notes in England....they think it's mickey mouse money or something.

i seen braveheart kinda a scary place

Can I ask English people what are their thoughts of N. Ireland??
Defo a question we would like to ask in the future 🙌
The guy that said he had scot holding him by his tie tryin to throttle him and two of his mates got rid of didn't happen. The Scottish guy battered all 3 of them singlehandedly
Every Scot watching this just saying meh! But Bill something? Jeezus wept. 😮
Scotland is too big to be labelled as one. East is nothing like west and highlanders nothing like lowlanders......and Dundee is an accent and attitude all by itself.

WE WANT INDEPENDENCE AND ARE A COUNTRY, NOT A COLOMY !!!! FREEDOM !!! INDEPENDENCE FOR SCOTLAND NOW !!! ARE YOU YES YET ? IF NOT, WHY NOT ? !!!!
SCOTLAND VOTED NO TO INDEPENDENCE
@@lovelybitofbugle219 The majority of Scots voted YES. Google: "majority of Scots born voted yes 2014". They won't tell you that on the EBC, but it's true.
@@OneTrueScotsman I always say you guys voted no because you didn't understand the question. I do the accent and everything 😄
As a Scottish person The English aren’t all bad but there are some who really piss me off I have English friends I don’t mind the country I just hate how they in the past took over Northern Ireland and Scotland and after they let India and America go they kept us, the brexit vote was rigged because of the amount of English people in comparison to us scots and it may seem like the votes are from Scotland but the votes for leaving the eu were English people in scotland
Scottish people are Brits
Speak for yourself. Scottish, never British.
The stereotypes are crazy
A patronising & derogatory post
In your heading, who are "The Brits"?
Mate you should say what the English people think of Scotland not what brits think of the Scotts. The Scotts are Brits as well mate🇬🇧🏴🏴

Do you have desires to go to Scotland? 🤣🤣🤣
"Brits on the Scottish", you are just showing outstanding ignorance here. The scots are Brits, as Britain reffers to the island. You're thumbnail requires changing.

That's what we did. 😁
Tf you mean brits on the Scottish, the Scots are British and the bloody English aren't, they're germanic. Sais conts
Okay! Not a good start..."what the British people think of the Scots". I thought we were British?! (After all we made Britian!) Do you mean English (as your title says)? This video just highlights why a lot of Scottish folk want to be independent. Billy Connolly - anywhere else in the world he is an instantly recognisable figure - everywhere except it seems in England, really shocking. Show a picture of the very unfunny Michael McIntyre and they would pick it up straight away. Perhaps this shows a mental bias against the Scots by the English. It is not as if Billy Connolly was an obscure person!
Imagine having a youtube channel where you ask "Brits" questions But you don't even know who the British are. Clue Scotland is also part of Great Britain 🇬🇧
We the scots are very friendly except the younger idiots who followed nicola sturgeon. The majority of scots are not interested in independence. This is a small island and we need to stick together. I love the rest of the country and go to england quite often.
Also why did you show Tilda Swinton she isn't Scottish 😅
She certainly considers herself a Scot due to her upbringing and family history.
@@cantbebothered1903 She wasn't born in Scotland and she spent most of her life in England. So she is not Scottish. She a Plastic Scot,
