Let's see, I passed the American version, and while an Aussie, I have 4 Scottish Grandparents so I'm hoping for a 50% pass at least .
1/What famous world renouned scottish poet was born in 1759? There's only one World renowned Scottish poet - Rabbie Burns, I visited his house in Ayrshire in 1997 2/Whats the name of the well known structure erected in Glasgow that looks like the an armadillo? We passed through Glasgow on the bus too quickly - no idea 3/What has been placed on top of a statue in Glasgow which is now a tourist attraction? Arrrgh, any Edinburgh or Inverness questions at all - Glasgow knowledge slim - another miss. 4/What is traditionally eaten in Scotland on the 25th January? Haggis, piped in, and preferably with tatties and neeps 5/Who played William Wallace in the film Braveheart? A fine Australian by the name of Mel Gibson 6/Which famous Scottish king led Scotland to freedom? Robert the Bruce 7/If you lived in Glasgow what is a 44D? What is it with Glasgow again - the standard Bra size of a Glaswegian girl 8/Which Scottish hooker recently was dropped from the British Lions squad despite playing 6 mins against the Wallabies in the first test? British Lions - not a very memorable bunch, couldn't tell you, except his team is going to lose tomorrow night . 9/Where in Scotland did Golf originate from? The Royal and Ancient Fairways of St Andrews (and I will be playing the course again next month - WOOHOO), although from memory, the links at Crail seemed to have some claim on being the oldest course???? 10/Where in Scotland do the smallest variety of pony come from? The Shetland Isles - haven't made it that far north, but have been to the Orkneys 11/Which famous english king said "the problem with Scotland is that it is full of Scots!"? Wasn't Eddie the whinger (you know, the one in Braveheart) was it?? 12/Which Scottish Clan were the only army in Europe to defeat the Romans? The proud clan of MacDonald of course (of which I am a member) - no idea really 13/Which Scottish mountain is the highest in Britain? Ben Nevis - my Uncle has a farm called Achintee that is up the glen there - remember on the day I was there I had to climb halfway up the path and hold all the tourists back - he had the helicopter in spraying for Brackens which were threatening to take over the property. 14/What do you call a mountain in Scotland that is over 300 feet high? Ben - let's face it, it really doesn't matter what you call it, you won't get it to come when you call anyway . 15/Name the town in Scotland that is associated with breathing? Ayr, home of the famous Prestwick Golf course - yes, I did shoot 76 off the stick there 2 years ago Hmmmm, I think I got 8 there ------------------ |
