Chris DeBaun is an American tourist who posted a list of funny observations from travelling in Scotland to the facebook page Scotland from the Roadside. We thought you might find them funny, so we've shared them below!

"1) Scotland embraces alternative energy – windmills everywhere. I wish we did the same. Shame on us.

2) The small, old distilleries are the best.

3) Americans should be friendlier; the Scots have us beat by a mile for openness, love, and general happiness.

4) There are no bathrooms in Scotland on the roads. I plan to start a page called "Peeing By the Roadside".

5) I saw exactly 2 police cars in...

As a proud Scottish company, we grabbed the opportunity to take a stand at the 700 year celebrations of the famous battle of Bannockburn. It was another event in 2014's year of celebrations in Scotland to mark the homecoming year.

We met lots of great people from all over the world, including the US, Canada, Australia and Germany. They all had some interest in Scotland, or Tartan or the History of their anncestry.

It was noisey, it was manic, there was tartan everywhere........it was exactly what we expected from a Rod Stewart gig!!!

Buchanan Bespoke recently went along and fitted our favourite pop star with a pair of specially made tartan shoes, and matching wash bag, and he was an utter gentleman during the fitting.

We popped along to his gig at Falkirk Stadium and had the thrill of going back stage to meet the man himself.

We recently made a pair of Buchanan Brogues for our good friend Charlie Whitfield to wear while representing the brand 'The Macallan' in the USA.

He has sent us this superb image of him wearing the Buchanan Brogues whilst at a Whisky event.

We are pushing ahead making him a pair of Whisky Slippers, so keep an eye out for an image of them.

Pairing two great Scottish exports, Tartan and Whisky.
