It’s November 30th! St Andrew’s Day!

It’s Andrew’s day, the day to celebrate everything Scottish. I may be biased but I don’t think we get the same profile as St. Patrick’s Day and that’s not to take away from our Irish Celtic cousins.

So I thought I’d share my favourite Scottish things to add to our Bonnie profile to celebrate St Andrew’s day!

Magnificent Landscape

Come on. Hills, mountains, beaches, lochs and more.

The Castles

Over 3000 to explore.

People and Culture

Lots of it.

Unique style

Land of the tartans and tweed.

Their National Unicorn

Yep, the unicorn really is the official national animal of Scotland. So cool.

Their National Thistle

To some, it is a weed but in Scotland, it is so much more. The thistle represents overcoming adversity and difficult situations. It’s a symbol of resilience. In Celtic regions, the thistle represents devotion, bravery, determination, and strength.

Wee Dram

Having a wee dram is very Scottish. It is also a national export.

Happy St Andrew’s day everyone!
