Glenbogie, I bow to your fine wit. Do you know any funny, original, Scottish jokes. Today I just bought a copy of Cliff Hanley's "Skinful of Scotch" (1965) so here's another old one, though maybe, just maybe it will be new to someone, somewhere, some one perhaps under 30 maybe in foreign parts (south of Gretna, west of Ailsa Craig, etc). "So the big fella went into a pub near Ibrox [home of Rangers, the Protestant football team] and has an alligator with him on a lead and says to the barman "hey Mac do you serve Catholics in this bar?" Naturally the boys might have been annoyed in the normal way but they didny fancy the look of the alligator so they kept well back and looked respectful. The barman says, 'sure surr it's quite all right'. So the man says 'right a pint for me and a Catholic for ma pal here'.
