Most of these are more about my hometown, specifically, which I love and miss so much. So, forgive me if I ramble.
Scotland has the highest quality water in the UK.
Grand Theft Auto was created in Dundee, Scotland and is developed in Edinburgh, today. There are lots of Scottish reference in the games, especially Dundee in the older ones.
Lemmings also originates from Dundee, Scotland. There's even a
Lemmings statue in Dundee.
At one point, the Tay Bridge which links Dundee to Newport-On-Tay was the longest bridge in the world. There are plenty of bigger bridges around the world now.
The Tay Railbridge collapsed on Sunday the 28th of December in 1879 during a storm one night. Every kid in Dundee learns about it in school at a young age and, as a result, is terrified the next time they take a train across the new railbridge.
The lightbulb was invented and demonstrated in Dundee by James Bowman Lindsay of the Watt Institute, like, 40 years before Edison was even born.
The adhesive postage stamp was also invented in Dundee by James Chalmers.
Haggis burger on a bun/roll with a touch of ketchup is delicious.
Scotland is the only country in the world that doesn't have Coke Cola as the number 1 soft drink. In Scotland, Irn Bru is the number 1 soft drink and it has been for a very long time.
In Scotland, I got paid £300+ a month to attend college for free for 3 years. That was years ago so I would hope they bumped that up a bit by now.
My medical, dental, psychological and gender transition related care is all completely free, including prescriptions for medication. I think England has to pay for medication, at least.
I could go on but I think I've gone on far too much already. x
