This should probably be in word games...
These are misconceptions I've seen from American Tourists and unfortunatly non-tourists. Really I've been asked these questions about my home country >.>;
Scotland
Misconception:
Kilts are worn here all the time, it's rare to see people not wearing a kilt
Truth:
In 16 years I've never saw a person wear a kilt as an everyday outfit.
Misconception:
Haggis is a small animal that runs around the tops of hills in the highlands and is killed for it's meat
Truth:
There is no such creature, just think of haggis as being Scotland's answer to Hot Dogs. Everything is in it, yet it tastes damn good!
Misconception:
If one wanted to send mail to a place in Scotland the final three lines of the address would be:
Scotland,
England,
UK
Truth: Scotland is not in England. That person was nearly personally strangled by myself when I visited Loch Ness a year or so ago.
