Scottish Independence: Things You Would Miss If Alex Salmond Had His Way
Irn Bru(01 of07)
Who wouldn't miss this golden nectar and its blend of 32 flavours? Often described as "Scotland's other national drink" (after Scotch whisky) Barr's Irn-Bru is a taste sensation akin to drinking the sweat of angels. (credit:Getty Images)
Deep Fried Mars Bar(02 of07)
Take a normal chocolate bar, place it in batter, put it in deep-fat fryer and a few minutes later you have a the most diabetes-inducing treat known to man. Sickly sweet and fatty, it is an excellent source of calories.
Men In Kilts(03 of07)
It has been claimed that "a man in a kilt is a man and a half" and it's hard to deny there isn't something special about a Scot in full Highland dress. (credit:PA)
Edinburgh Festival Fringe(04 of07)
The largest arts festival on the planet, The Fringe is an exceptional showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy, with over 40,000 performances and more than 2,500 shows packed into 250 venues across the city.
Loch Ness and the Great Glen(05 of07)
More than 62 miles (100 kilometers) long, the spectacular Great Glen fault cuts the Scottish Highlands into northern and southern halves. Most famously, it is home to Loch Ness and a countless number of fuzzy photos that are more likely to be a dog, debris or large fish, rather than a mythic monster. (credit:Getty Images)
Scotch Whisky(06 of07)
Scotland has more distilleries than any country, with close to 100 of them peppered throughout the land. Made in a manner specified by law, Scotch whiskies are downright delicious. (credit:Getty Images)
Highland Games(07 of07)
Bagpipes, tartan, and manly men lifting and chucking heavy things about – the Highland Games are the very epitome of celebrating Scottish and Celtic culture and heritage.
