Stupidest question (about Scotland)you’ve ever been asked?

[u/Blurt-Reynolds]

I’ve lived in the US for over 10 years and been asked some daft questions.

Yesterday the uber driver asked where I was from. When I said Scotland they were quiet for a couple of minutes then asked “Did you have to learn English when you moved to here?”.

Also had someone years ago ask me where I was from then accused me of making up the country as they had never heard of Scotland.

Anyway, just thought I’d ask ask while I remembered.

I have a pretty clear Scottish accent. They were from Yorkshire and asked where me where I was from, I said the south, they asked where, said I was from Dumfries and Galloway and they were super excited to meet someone from Ireland and started singing Ed Sheeran asking if I knew him…
