Bust out the bag pipes and put on your kilts, folks. Zane is in merry old Scotland! Where the hamburgers are deep fried, the men walk around unbifurcated and the scotch is plentiful. From the highlands to the lowlands, Zane uses his Scottish travel as an excuse to finally wear a skirt and to drink copious amounts of the native beverage, Scotch. Will our fearless host have a brave enough heart to tackle many barrels of the national drink without losing his kilt? Find out, when Zane goes Three Sheets to Scotland!
Bagpipes, Braveheart and the Loch Ness Monster. If you think that’s everything there is to know about Scotland's history, you are sadly mistaken. Every section of Scotland is full of twists and surprises around every corner. The bars in Scotland are amazing, but watch out, as their beer is stronger than most American kinds and their pints are bigger! The happening scene is relaxed as late licensing hours mean most city bars are open until 1am, and some stay open until 3am! It’s a country of pub crawls, all-night parties, overindulgence and late nights wandering home through cobbled streets at dawn. Three Sheets should fit right in.
