Ugly Scots: Scotching Nature

'SCOTCHING' REPULSIVE LOOKS


Scotland is known as the reservation with the world's ugliest indigenous tribes. For centuries the tradition of "Scotching" - to put the head into refuse, dirt or manure - has amazed visitors from all over the world. Scotching is meant as a sign of atonement and to amend the conflict between nature's beauty and the appalling unpleasantry of a Scotsman's looks. Usually such acts of attempted remorse take between 2 - 6 hours, but reportedly isolated cases around the coastal regions have lasted for even up to six days in the past.

The case in the picture above took place this week on Aberdeen's Justice Street (!!) and involved a 51-year old native. A passer-by told onlookers, "I walked around the corner and saw his walking stick on the ground and his bum sticking out and said 'that's Willie'. Me and my pals tried to pull him out but his ears were stuck."


It shows that Scottish aborigines recognize each other by their bum, call it willie and sport ears big enough they could glide from the mainland to the Outer Hebrides.
