What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Stonehaven?

"When visiting Stonehaven, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions to avoid any cultural faux pas. Firstly, avoid referring to Scotland as England or assuming that they are the same. Scots are proud of their unique heritage and culture, and they don't appreciate being lumped together with their neighbors to the south. Secondly, don't mock or imitate the Scottish accent or use stereotypical phrases from pop culture. This can come off as disrespectful and offensive. Thirdly, avoid discussing sensitive topics like religion and politics, especially the issue of Scottish independence, unless you are well-informed and the conversation naturally goes there. Fourthly, don't disrespect the local customs and traditions. For instance, Hogmanay (New Year's Eve) is a big deal in Scotland, and it's important to respect the traditions associated with it. Lastly, don't forget to say please and thank you. Politeness is highly valued in Scottish culture, and it's considered rude not to express gratitude when someone has been helpful or kind," remarked another expat in Stonehaven, Scotland.
