Living in Scotland can be an exciting adventure that many of us are blessed to have lived, and when you adapt to the Scottish way of life you may find you develop some habits you would never have expected.
Whether it be enjoying a wee cheeky pint, having a wee gander at the shops or looking for a wee bite to eat it - using Scottish words like ‘wee’ is just one of many habits the Scots exhibit that can rub off on you.
But isn't there more to it than that? Absolutely! We asked you, our Scotsman readers, what’s a ‘habit you can easily pick up living in Scotland’ and you answered passionately - here are twenty-one of your answers.

Can you see a patch of blue in the sky? Not bad! For Scotland the weather is chaotic and often grey or ever-changing, if there's a bit of blue about then its "taps aff". Photo: Min An via Canva Pro
14. Moaning about the weather (but loving to talk about it!)
When you're in a country that can experience all four seasons in one day you're going to hear people talking about it - it seems we, in equal measure, moan about it a lot while enjoying that conversation. Photo: fizkes via Canva Pro
15. Bagging munros in your spare time
Scotland has a lot of munros to choose from with a variety of selection between easy ones and difficult ones, we're blessed to live in such a landscape that spoils hikers for choice. Photo: Submitted
16. You walk everywhere and often
A lot of our Scotsman readers wrote that a habit you can develop in Scotland is walking outside a lot, this could be because the scenery is beautiful - in fact National Geographic put Scotland in their 'Best of the World 2023' list. Photo: Submitted
