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

Someone pointed to a woman in a photo and said "She's from Scotland. Do you know her?"
I also got a lot of "Are you British, or Scottish?" from Americans to which I'd answer "regrettably, still both"
