I may be wrong, but it seems like you've never visited my neck of the woods, Galloway. Its an oversight lots of tourists make, so intent on getting to Edinburgh/Glasgow, or the Highlands, and end up missing some of the best Scotland has to offer: history, castles, scenery, beaches, small, pretty market towns, and the 2 Roberts, Bruce and Burns. Next time you're over, give it a shot, I can give some suggestions if you want.
Second, language. You said in one of your videos are they speaking English? Yes, but. Not entirely correct I'm afraid. Scotland has 3 languages - Gaelic and English you know, obviously, but what about Scots? Sharing linguistic roots with English it is often written off as a dialect but is actually a language all of its own, albeit becoming more anglicised in these days of globalisation.
I am a native Scots speaker, punished at school for not speaking English, as was the norm back then. It can be hard sometimes, to tell the difference, except if you get 2 Scots speakers talking to each other, THEN you can tell.
Anyhow, just thought I'd fill you in a bit. Take care, stay safe, and if I can give any more info, just ask.

Regarding tipping in a bar, in Scotland, if you are going out for a night of drinking we do a thing where we don't tip all night until the last drink you buy of the night, and we'll say to the bar staff and get one for yourself, now this doesn't mean that the bar staff buys a shot of whisky and downs it, what they do is they take a cash amount from your change equal to the cost of one drink. Over the course of a night's drinking, it effectively works out at a 5-10% tip depending on how much you drink.

Enjoyed all your videos of my homeland, couple of points though, Scottish water comes straight from mineral springs, and is amongst some of the cleanest, purest tap water in the world. My other point was, you kept saying you where shocked how nice the food was, and it got me thinking, why wouldn't you think it was nice, that was, did you go into it with any preconceived ideas that ti would be awful? enjoyed all your vids though, great stuff: )

Not a delicacy, but plain old simple dinner.
A true Scottish meal is a roll and square/slice sausage off a van, even a doubler add a black pudding with your sausage or a heart attack by adding a tattie scone, it has imo to be garnished with brown sauce.
Deliciousy goodness right there!
But a must have is if you go anywhere near the western Highlands have seafood, the variety is all quality tasty goods.

Water. You dont know what you are talking about. Yes in densely populated areas it tends to be over chlorinated. But take Skye 25 years ago. The water used to have a yellow tint and was sweet. This was due to naturally filtering through Peat. Many small village tap water is still like that and its superb! Hey it Flouride free across the Nation!

Planes,
Scottish water is the best in Europe. because we have so much rain. No re-cycled water like in London, no limescale because the bedrock tends to be granite. One of Britain's premier mineral water brands, Highland Spring, comes from. guess where!

Did a dna test and found out I'm half Scot/half Italian (the Italian I knew) and only have my Italian heritage that I've learned. Now I have to find out about my Scot half since I know nothing about Scotland.

Tipping is polite but not necessary, we have a minimum wage that all workers across all industries receive. If you tip too much it can often be refused politely as it can cause embarrassment or guilt.
