Scottish Humour

I love Scottish Humour, and like to share it, as best I am able. It is very different from English Humour, which is far less self-analytical, or real to life. There is a sad, quiet, almost mournful streak about Scottish humour. Much of it expressed in the face of death, or in the old churchyard on the side of the glen, or in the deep moroseness of over indulgence in beer and whisky. Much of Scotland's humour stems from our social conditions of the past, and from our history. For too many years we were the underdog of the English; but in humour, we were always their masters. We Scots are at the same time both serious and witty, and much of our humour contains great wisdom. Scottish Humour.
