Oh my God. I just wrote a massive big paragraph with those two stories and Google Chrome refreshed the page on it's own without me doing anything.
That's so unfair! I have to write it all again now!
I have two favourites which are amazing stories I'm going to bore you with.
The first one was about this girl who was sentenced to hang in Edinburgh (I think she killed someone or something) and after they hanged her, they threw her on the back of a horse and cart, but because of the cobbled streets, the cart was really bumpy and it re-started her heart. They couldn't kill her again because she'd already been registered as dead. She went on to live a long and happy life after that!
The other one is to do with origins of a song called Loch Lomond (lock low-mund
) and it was these two Scotsmen who had been put in jail in England. One of them basically sold his friend out, told the authorities that his friend did it all and explained it in detail. He was set free and his friend was sentenced to death. So his friend wrote this song and it basically goes "Ye'll (you'll) tak (take) the high road and I'll tak the low road, and I'll be in Scotland afore ye (before you). Where my and my true love will never meet again by yon bonnie, bonnie (the pretty, pretty) banks of Loch Lomond" and it was his way of saying "You're going to walk back to Scotland, I'll be taking the spiritual path when they kill me. I'll get there before you, but I'll never be able to sit by Loch Lomond with my girlfriend again." It's so sad!
I completely understand if you didn't get any of that.
I'm so bad at explaining things, sorry it was a bit long!
Scotland doesn't have a massive amount of traditional food that can be eaten for different meals and stuff like you do, we have a fair bit of biscuits and stuff (shortbread, tablet, macaroon) and some foods you could have with dinner like haggis (Um.. Ew.) But if you went to a supermarket there'd be stuff from all over the world, we kind of eat things from everywhere and sometimes integrate our food into it. Like haggis pizza. I think the most popular food is probably stuff from the chip shop though, which is kind of gross since it's so greasy and fatty.
I don't mind having it sometimes like when we get back from holidays and are too exhausted to cook or something. But every night/week is too much!
