The woman who answered unicorn and nessey knows her stuff

[@jamesrowe3606]

Unicorn is a good shout. It's the national animal of Scotland. Granted it doesn't actually exist, but neither does Nessie and that hasn't stopped us making millions from gullible tourists.

[@johnavery3941]

James come on off course Nessie and Unicorns exist.... you will be telling me next that there is no Santa Claus....

[@Prussian84]

I will be one of these tourists soon :D

I'm 100% Scottish and have never heard of Martin Compston. Still don't know who he is or what he does or why he's "famous"!

Are you a reclusive hermit who lives in a cave ? Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey !!! 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/imjSkmahhbZ9gdE

Schottland - In Cologne the unknown country 😂

[@Prussian84]

"What would you put inside meat?" "Vegetable" "Not a vegetable" "Not in Scotland" .. funniest part of the whole interview.

[@wokenessiscancer2176]

And back home right after 😂

[@shgers3344]

Scotch eggs are from England ffs thats embarrassing to even ask what it is.

[@alanz3497]

I'm Scottish and I was cringing at how ridiculous it was that the interviewer, and presumably the crew behind him, didn't know that.🤦🏻

[@kyotocoversjimanderson782]

Funny!

[@alanz3497]

Everyone knows that the answer to "Name a Scottish animal" is "Graeme Souness".

[@saltireeire5775]

Did Martin Compston dirty!

[@cunninglinguist-hu1dz]

Scotch eggs are an English creation

[@jerrymyphone5849]

First time and only time I'd even heard of it was when I was in London

[@cunninglinguist-hu1dz]

@@jerrymyphone5849 They are available in Scotland but not the popular dish that is being suggested here.

So was football

[@liborsionko]

How can they be? They're SCOTCH eggs eejit!

God that’s embarrassing… I‘m sorry as a German. I would’ve known multiple answers to every question.😢

Don"t be embarrassed, by the time we Scots leave Germany you will all be invited over for a holiday. Céad Míle Fáilte ( A Hundred Thousand Welcomes) 😁

I doubt it... Moreover most of the questions are more than dumb...

[@markwilkie3677]

@@andrep.3774 Yeah the questions are plain stupid.

[@shgers3344]

Mate I am the same as a scotsman it's totally embarrassing that they think a scotch egg is scottish. It was made 1st in whittbay I think for fishermen to take as a lunch while out on the boats and it was made by wrapping a egg in fish and breadcrumbs. Bbc Scotland are just embarrassing themselves here tbh.

[@DelSevenNine]

I was thinking it was Haggis inside it thinking that surely they won't try and pass off a scotch egg as scottish.

[@odrum]

Give that too the English

[@gillianwooyeah]

"I would date him" - go on yerself

[@Therewas10germanBombers]

No England invented football fact

[@liborsionko]

Not the game we play NOW. England rules was kick snd rush. Scotland invented, pioneered and EXPORTED the passing game. Check out the BBC iplayer doc with Dougray Scott. All will become apparent.

[@Therewas10germanBombers]

@@liborsionko it's a BBC doc with a Scottish guy presenting it😂 England made the rules and the game in 1867

[@taylorlibby7642]

I think it's more important to bring cologne, and maybe even soap, to Scotland. Place gets a little stinky in summer. Probably all that heavy wool.

Agreed, his tone is weirdly confrontational, yet the Germans are rather sweet, and "a microphone" was such a subtle burn. Lol

Neither is football English invented football

[@user-hu6lr3vr7g]

​@@Therewas10germanBombersactually, Scotland invented the modern version of football called the dribble and pass, the English game is unrecognisable today. They say Football is a joint venture between England, Scotland and Spain. Learn your history, buddy.

​@LouOtoole To be fair, England did invent the art of losing penalty shoot outs.
