Great Big Story | You’ll never guess where this Scottish village is! 😯 #travel #shorts @GreatBigStory | Uploaded 7 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
The Italian Alps, home to countless quintessential Italian villages…and one not-so traditional. Welcome to Gurro, the Scottish village in Italy.

So what actually makes this village Scottish? Legend has it that the population descended from Scottish soldiers, who stumbled across the area whilst fleeing a battle 500 years ago. But it’s not just their supposed ancestors flying the Scottish flag - the inhabitants today wear traditional tartan, grab drinks in their local Scottish bar and they even mix Scottish into their language…Ay, can you believe it!

These are the Italian locals keeping this delightfully unexpected Scottish tradition alive.
