• There are so many Scottish customs and traditions that we can only touch the surface here. But people from all four corners of the globe know that we are nation rich in history and culture, and many of our traditions have been adopted throughout the world. If I asked 1,000 people from around the world what they associated with Scotland or Scottish customs and traditions, we would get a variety of answers. To some it would be the scenery, to others whisky or golf, or some of the folklore such as Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster.
