As a Tour Guide in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I mostly LOVE this story. Jimmy Fallon visits Scotland and has an AMAZING experience. I spend a lot of time at The Fife Arms and Balmoral and it’s magical… BUT…
1. littering is not to be encouraged
2. Buckfast wouldn’t be my first choice of beverage for visitors to Scotland
3. It’s pretty much impossible to arrange an invite to the Victoria Barracks for dinner with the Royal Regiment of Scotland
4. Not all Scotsmen will let you borrow their kilts
5. Getting a Tailor to make you a kilt with same day service (never mind same evening) is nigh on impossible but may be directly related to the amount of whisky you buy him / her 🥃

However this story gives you a taste of the warmth of hospitality in Scotland and shows that Jimmy Fallon is the most Scottish person in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Massed pipe bands Nethy Bridge Highland Games! Few better sights and sounds on this planet. What I’d give to be able to play the bagpipes and take part in this… or the snare drum 🥁. But I think I’d struggle to even play the big drum 😂❤️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
