Wow... they stood for nearly 100-years. Impressive. Truly, they have served us well.

I'm from the US (incoming expat this year) so I just assume everything built from the ground up, in the last century is kinda junky and wastefully built on the cheap.

I wish we built structures in the US like this on the regular. Like damn, Scotland seems so solidly and proudly built from what I've seen.

P.s. y'all are probably all my long lost cousins based on my heavily Scottish ancestry. I know I'm probably just a starry eyed US expat, but it feels like home even just visiting. Thanks for having such a lovely country and I can't wait to have a beer with more of you!

Clockwork.

Sees something happening in a country not the US, immediately tells you about how it works back home. Also clockwork.

Oh god another 'I'm Scottish really' yank. You're American. Deal with it.

Also; nobody cares what the US does or thinks.

Literally no one cares about your ancestry. Please, for the love of god, do not be loud and insulted when people laugh at you for trying to insist we are all related.
