If you grew up in Scotland, there are probably countless words and phrases that will stick in your mind forever.
Whether it's your natural instinct to yell 'taps aff' at the first sign of warm weather, or responding to a dumb question with a sarcastic 'did ye, aye?', we really do have a perfect saying for every situation. People visiting the country for the first time often have no idea what we're saying half the time, either because of our accents or the colourful language we use that often only makes sense to Scots.
Even within Scotland, different regions have their own unique vocabulary that is oftentimes lost on others. If someone from Glasgow tells you 'Away an bile yer heid', trust us when we say they're not paying you a compliment. With so many wonderful Scottish sayings, we have taken a look at some of the most iconic and beloved. From 'braw' to 'wheest' you will likely be familiar with at least a few of these.
