Misconceptions about Scotalnd!
A survey on misconceptions regarding Scotland and the Scots: German results

It is very interesting to compare Italian and German results of the survey about misconceptions regarding the Scottish people!
27% German girls (the German school is only for females) think that Scotland is a part of England and 73% don't. Well, better than the Italians!
Also as regards clothes, German students have clearer ideas: no one believes that the Scots wear a kilt in their everyday life.
German girls are surely still impressed by the cult movie (Christopher Lambert starring) "The last immortal". They are convinced that most Scots live in the Highlands. ;-))
Maybe they have never tasted *true Scottish haggis* but no one believes it is an animal.
The German have some doubts about Scottish generosity. Believe me: it's no true: they are a very generous and friendly people!!! (34% Yes, 66% NO)

Well, definitely the Scots are a people of high drinkers. Again no true at all!! Only a couple of beers... ;-))

Yes 53%, No 47%

Some German girls have never tasted Scottish salmon...

Yes 27%, No 73%

Most of them will never marry a Scottish man and decide to live in his country: what a pity!!

Yes 60%, No 40%

In fact they can, and very fluently too!

Yes 67%, No 33%

Who knows the truth?

Yes 33%, No 67%
