Have a nice holiday
*me is going to Scotland as well in August
Its a sheeps liver boiled in its own stomach.
A haggis is a small furry mammal, although it is roughly the same size and shape as the "haggis" you see in the butchers, which confuses a lot of people.

He's right you know! I've seen em with my own eyes! There are more of them here than rabbits. Why do you think Scottish people eat haggis everynight for dinner?
And because they live up in the highlands they've evolved with the legs on one side of their body shorter than on the other, to keep themselves level on those steep slopes. Haggis hunters work in teams - one to find the haggises and turn them around so they roll down the mountain, and one at the bottom to collect them all.

You a different kind of Scottish person. The sort we like to call "NEDS". Oh sorry we aren't allowed to say that anymore so what was the PC way of saying it? Oh you Tracksuit Ambassador!
* By this I mean all the fine whiskies and some irn bru, NOT Tennents superstrength in the purple tins...
Edit: "Tracksuit ambassadors"..that cracked me up..."Why ambassador, with this Buckfast you are spoiling us.." <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
And what is a NED (besides my name?).
<a href='http://www.dogbomb.co.uk/board/arc/topic/6507.html' target='_blank'>http://www.dogbomb.co.uk/board/arc/topic/6507.html</a>
These are the "Neds", or "Schemies". The rich tourists tend not to see too much of them, unless they get lost or really annoy their taxi driver or something...
They can be identified by the (preferably Kappa) shellsuits, gold chains, double buggy prams and of course, the obligatory Burberry hat/**** perm. ( note: if you have ever worn burberry, shoot yerself, you are daeing everyone a big favour.)
Should you have encountered any, it might have been an interesting test of "US Army Unarmed Combat Training" vs "5 tooled up Gluesniffers guttered oan the Buckie ya bas!"
For our English occupiers, that's what you call "charvas" or "Townies"
Edit: For a crash course in "Ned speak" read "Trainspotting" and "Porno" by Irvine Welsh...
You have to be there etc..
I'm 90% certain there will be an American equivalent of the common "Ned", I just have no idea what it would be..
LIES! yes I do, it's the peeps on Jerry Springer, but with our accents and more shellsuits/ cheap gold!
Townies = Scary, likly to have no money, but still have branded stuff like nike, addidas, cappa. Quite lickly live on a council estate (allthough not all), Many have a criminal record, many do drugs, many married by 18 and have 3- 6 kids. Etc. Oh and you many think the english, scottish, welsh, scousers, etc have a strage accent.. But its nothing after u have met a townie, they sound like its a different language.
Other notes... Many seen in a vauxhall nova, have stupid exhausts on so they sound like a tank is going past, oftern have thumping music on, No lyrics, no song, Just thump Thump Thump for 5 mins. These cars usually have some sort of body work on them which looks out of place, such as spoilers.
If you ever meet one they talk tough but usually aint. They will also start a fight on anything, living or not. If a townie thinks something is wrong, they will swear alot, then hit it. Wany can be destinguished by often saying "****", "****", and "mudda f*****" You get the picture
If you ever meet one, just hit them. PS, they normally found in bush shelters in the suberbs...
Good luck in avoiding them
Not to me, it ain't <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

It won't pass any real inspection down in the scheme ( hood? for you colonials? ), but it might be good enough to intimidate foreigners and people from Edinburgh.
Well done, but work on your swearing.
Remember, swearing must <i>flow</i> naturally, or it loses it's sweet music of hostility. <i>Be</i> the swearing, feeeeeeeeeellllll the cheek. Be one with the snideyness.
Ya bas etc.
I hate neds. Most of them are like 3 foot tall. They do some crazy stuff. I remember they used ot smash lightbulbs in the street and smell the gas. They are just trouble makers though.
<a href='http://www.loyal.f2s.com/bawbag.htm' target='_blank'>Heres</a> a comic of one. It's made by someone in my town (**** knows who he is, it's Cumbernauld anyway)
DO NOT try Irn Bru! It's good **** but you can't get enough of it and you won't find it anywhere else. It also fuxxors your teeth if you don't brush often. Irn Bru is made about a 15 minute drive from where I live. I know someone who works there so I get some for free <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
If you are going to FORT William you must try the Outward Bound center. It has the best zip-wire I have ever tried, it's right over a gorge (THE WATER KIND!).
As for pubs....hmmm.....well my town is between Glasgow and F. William so you could always try The Black Bull.
