Does Scotland do a good job of representing itself to the world?

Question

Discuss with reference to traditional and stereotypical Scottish issues and icons and the modern day reality.

Answer 1

The stereotypical view of Scotland is haggis-eating, bagpipe-playing, log-tossing, golf-playing guys in skirts (ok, kilts).

But Sean Connery is from Scotland, so 2 points for that.
And Billy Connelly and Craig Ferguson, so some points for being funny.

The only time most people think of Scotland is during golf tournaments.... Tiger Woods, y'all.

Don't know if that helps, but good luck.
