When my friend asked me to join her on an activity weekend in the Scottish mountains my answer was simple: ‘Absolutely not’.
I’m not the outdoorsy type and (*confession time*) I haven’t ridden a bike since I was a teenager, so mountain bike trekking and quad biking didn’t exactly sound like my cup of tea.
But then she threw in a sweetener. The Maccabees, one of my favourite bands, were playing at a festival hosted by Mumford & Sons in the resort where we would be staying. ‘Sign me up’, I hastily exclaimed.

It’s only over the border, but to English people, Scotland can sometimes seem like a whole different world and vice versa.
Where language is concerned, Scotland has an enjoyable array of beautiful dialects and accents to enjoy, as well as a bank of vocabulary that you won’t enjoy anywhere else.
But even when words are used which you think you understand, you might not be getting the message that you think. Here are a selection of words that mean something completely different when used in the North of the UK.

When a pub crawl meets a marathon, you get a Wineathlon, a 10-kilometre race which offers wine, rather than water, at rest stops.
Those two things may not seem to go together, but Glasgow, the site of the event, is a city used to contradiction. (After all, this is a place that managed to hold simultaneously the title of UK’s friendliest city and murder capital of Western Europe.)
Hundreds of people have already signed up for the September 24 race, described as an ‘easy trail’ that puts ‘the fun back into running.’

Burns Night has rolled round again so it’s time to just prepare a pile of haggis and support the brown heap with some neeps and tatties. Classic, right?
Well, understandably, this might not fill you with much excitement – and if you aren’t into the poetry either then Burns Night may well just be a bit of a non-event for you. Unless you take a look at some of these unusual dishes that will actually give the haggis you’re serving a whole new lease of life.
