Visitors have revealed what they make of Scotland.
Non-Scots have revealed what they "think about Scotland". Visitors shared their favourite aspects of the country online.
There are many things that those of us who live in Scotland take for granted. It is only those that visit for a holiday who see it through fresh eyes.
On Saturday, July 5, a user on social forum Reddit questioned what tourists make of the country. Writing on the AskTheWorld community, they asked: "What do non-Scots think about Scotland? Hit me."
The post has since received more than 216 comments. Many holidaymakers and other non-Scots were keen to share their own thoughts about the country.
One of the top comments reads: "Bloody brilliant. Some of the best people on the planet, incredible scenery. "
The user added: "A full Scottish breakfast is a great hangover cure."
A full Scottish breakfast is comprised of bacon, sausages, Lorne sausage, black pudding, haggis, baked beans, fried mushrooms, tomatoes, and fried eggs. It is usually accompanied by toast and tattie scones.
A second Reddit user posted: "When I think of Scotland I think of fun but hardworking people with a good sense of humour, stunning landscapes, and food that warms you after a cold day."
A third echoed: "Scotland was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever witnessed. And the people were mighty fine too."
Walks in Scotland
Another wrote: "I spent a week driving around Scotland in summer 2007 and I loved it. As an Irish person, there is something pleasingly familiar about the place. Great country."
Scotland is known for its rugged and varied landscapes, from its Munros to its beaches. Among the many picturesque destinations in the country are Ben Nevis, Glen Coe, and the Isle of Skye—but every corner of the country is home to magnificent beauty spots.
Meanwhile, many Reddit users singled out Scots' language and accents. As reported by the Daily Record, there are many words and phrases that are commonly spoken in Scotland that are not used anywhere else in the UK or the world.
Scotland's accents
One Reddit user joked: "My idols when it comes to descriptive swearing. We might say **** and **** a lot in Australia, but we're nowhere near the masters of swearing."
Someone else wrote: "Hottest accents on the planet. And gorgeous men with hairy knees."
Another posted: "I love them, good humour. Cool as accents."
Many others mentioned whisky when sharing what they thought of Scotland. There are around 150 distilleries located around the country, many of which produce whisky that is enjoyed all over the world.
One user commented: "Natural beauty, cool people, great whisky. I feel like most people are cool with Scotland.
A second agreed: "Beautiful nature and culture. Great whisky."
