A violent or menacing character on British television, especially if a raving drunk and/or a mad homeless man, will often have a Glasgow accent, since Glaswegian is a very good accent and dialect for uttering threats. The character often uses headbutts (also called "The Glasgow Kiss"), knees in the crotch, improvised weapons and other unsportsmanlike fighting methods. The "Angry Scotsman" occasionally makes an appearance in American media, (though the Irish sometimes get a similar treatment, since as far as the Hollywood Atlas is concerned, they all come from Scotireland anyway). By the 21st century, the Angry Scot archetype has receded, to the point where Groundskeeper Willie of The Simpsons is probably the most popular and well-known character to fit this stereotype on British TV today, despite the show itself being American. A connected stereotype is the "ned" (according to incorrect folk etymology, short for Non Educated Delinquent) — a young Glaswegian hooligan who wears tilted-up baseball caps, lots of gold bling and tracksuits, travels in packs, drinks Buckfastnote A tonic wine, popular among binge drinkers in the west of Scotland - one bottle contains as much caffeine as 8 cans of cola, and known as 'Buckie' . by the gallon, and is impossible to understand. This is a counterpart to the English "chav" stereotype and the Irish Dublin Skanger. The stereotype may have come from existing stereotypes about the Scots and also some Truth in Television about Glasgow. Any metropolis in 19th and early 20th century Britain had a lot of urban poverty and crime. But, in Glasgow, it was compounded by sectarian tensions between the Irish Catholic immigrants and the native Protestants. In the interwar years, the city became notorious for "razor gangs," (often sectarian) gangs that were armed with knife-like razors. Today, the main surviving case of sectarian tension is the rivalry between Rangers and Celtic, one of the longest-running and ugliest football feuds, and violence still happens to at least some degree at every game between the two. After World War II, the old problems faded, while new ones sprang up in their place. 60s planners cleared away the original slums, but the tower blocks and other developments that were built aged badly. The former "Workshop of the Empire" was hit hard by industrial decline, perhaps the worst case of any major city in Britain. Factories and once world-famous shipyards closed. Unemployment and crime rose, a new street gang scene emerged and the trope stayed alive. Though some neighbourhoods remain deprived to this day, the city as a whole has done much to recover and its crime rates have fallen greatly. Once the 'Murder Capital of Western Europe', its murder rate is less than half it was at its height.note You tryin' tae say we're saft or summat? Yer gettin' chibbed fir that! Glasgow also has a reputation for being one of the friendliest cities in Scotland, especially in contrast to relatively aloof Edinburgers. It is also noticeably better run than most urban areas in the UK. Notably, there are at least two fighting tropes named after the city. The Glasgow Kiss is not to be confused with a Glasgow Grin, which is when somebody's cheek is sliced open from corners of the mouth, something the original razor gangs and later delinquents did to their enemies. It's worth mentioning that the royal motto of Scotland is "Nemo me impune lacessit", Latin for "No-one attacks me with impunity", loosely rendered in Scots as "Wha daur meddle wi' me?" or in Glaswegian as "Nae messin'". Mostly overlaps with Fiery Redhead since Scottish people are known to have red hair. See also Brave Scot, Brooklyn Rage, Southies, Dublin Skanger. The Irish, or at least Oirish, counterpart to this (assuming there is a difference) is Fighting Irish. The rural, or at least Southern American or Appalachian, counterpart is Southern-Fried Private. Ironically, No True Scotsman is often used to defy this trope. Overlap with The Scottish Trope is not unheard of, though. |

Jamie and Malcolm from The Thick of It and In the Loop epitomise this trope (although Jamie is actually from Motherwell, which is 28 km from Glasgow proper, he certainly counts; and this very much applies to Malcolm, who apparently grew up in the Gorbals, a very rough area of Glasgow indeed). Other characters refer to them and their henchmen as the 'Caledonian Mafia', a term actually used to describe Scots in the Blair/Brown government. | |

Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi: Gregory. While everybody else (apart from Wilfred, which can be justified by the fact that the manual says he moonlights as a burglar and has developed combat skills as a result) will act scared and call for help when monsters are in the room, he shouts "foul creatures, come and get it!" and starts punching them. | |

Alex Kilgour from the Sten series is a more...focused version. He's a very highly-trained military operative and prefers to do the violence with explosives. He's from a heavy-gravity world though, so when he does hit things, they tend to die painfully. Alex tells a joke about the days when the Romans were trying to hold Hadrian's Wall, and one newbie was terrified of his first encounter with some heavily armed, scowling, cursing Scots. But they passed by without killing him, and he commented to a veteran that the Scots weren't so bad after all. The older Roman replied, "But later tonight when their men get done drinking, we may have some trouble." |

Samurai Jack: The Scotsman is more or less this trope's personification. Naturally, the first time he and Jack meet, he turns a minor issue that Jack was willing to compromise on into a full-on sword fight to the death that lasted a third of the episode and obliterated most of the surrounding landscape right up until it was interrupted by Aku. He has a machine gun in place of a prosthetic leg, and a Scottish claymore that has similar magical properties to Jack's own sword. And such a man would have to have an equally violent wife... which he does. She's just as much of a Boisterous Bruiser as her hubby is, but she manages to do just as much damage as him WHILE UNARMED (that is, once somebody calls her fat). How she was captured in the first place is anyone's guess. Though after finishing off the army, she has calmed down so perhaps she can be calmer than her husband, yet shorter to infuriate and angrier. |

Burnistoun: Discussed in the voice-activated elevator sketch. The American-voiced machine urges the two very aggravated men (both Scotsmen) to stay calm, to which one of them responds that obviously, they had to add this, since they knew they were selling it to Scotsmen who were bound to lose their temper.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has Sheogorath, the God of Madness, who speaks with an exaggerated Scot Ireland accent and is fond of using weaponised teleportation to get rid of people who annoy him (or simply because it's funny). He returns in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim more or less the same, albeit with a difference appearance which is justified in that it's heavily implied that he's actually the second Sheogorath, once called the Hero of Kvatch and Champion of Cyrodiil in Oblivion, who took over the station of the original Sheogorath at the end of the Shivering Isles expansion. | |

Discworld equivalents: Wee Mad Arthur and the Nac Mac Feegle, who almost literally squeeze six feet of violence into a six-inch package. This fits the general impression that the shorter a Scotsman is, the more dangerous he is. Also referenced in The Discworld Companion (emphasis added): Mad Hamish, the oldest member of Ghengiz Cohen's gang of Barbarian Hero Old Soldiers, who manages to kick serious amounts of ass despite being 105 years old, deaf and wheelchair-bound. Even dying can't stop him. |

Malakai Makaisson in the Gotrek & Felix novels has the accent down pat (the author William King is a native of Stranraer). Plus he's a Slayer, and the type of guy who invents things like Airships, Rocket Launchers, and a rapid-fire axe-thrower. The inventive Scotsman is a real-life trope, interestingly enough. |

A more PG-13 version exists in the form of Johnny McGregor, the Scottish member of the European "Majestics" team in the dub of Bakuten Shoot Beyblade. He's got the red hair and the attitude and is described as being from the Highlands, plays tennis and golf, and by his own words, he's even called "The Gladiator of Glasgow".note The original Japanese never identifies his origins as more specific than being from the UK, and there are both details in favor of English heritage and Scottish heritage. | |

James Bond: He may have lost the accent working for MI6, but Skyfall established beyond a doubt that Bond is Scottish, and Daniel Craig's tenure inaugurated a much Darker and Edgier period for the character. Craig's portrayal of a harder-edged, more ruthless 007 underneath the suave charm has also been described as a throwback to the films that predated the franchise's Lighter and Softer (and in some less fondly-remembered installments Denser and Wackier) period between The '70s and The '90s, drawing comparisons to the films that starred the very Scottish Sean Connery. | |

2000 AD: Middenface McNulty from Strontium Dog was raised in the Glasgow ghetto and has been on the lam since he turned fourteen. Middenface's resumé includes time spent as a Bounty Hunter, terrorist, Rebel Leader and criminal enforcer. His hobbies include drinking and brawling. Judge Dredd: Stories have, on occasion, featured a Scottish comic book artist Kenny Who? (yes, the question mark is part of his name) who, in his first appearance, is driven to violence by his frustration with life in Mega-City-One and the comic book industry. One story featured a day of celebration in the Big Meg that completely parodies this trope complete with Synthi-Buckie, Deep-Fried Whatever and mass riots as a result. |

Pretty much everyone in A Scotsman in Egypt ends up blurring the line between this one and Brave Scot at some point, but Angus the Mauler is the purest example thanks to having almost no other discernable personality traits besides his Hair-Trigger Temper, love of strong drink and violence and absurd lack of self-preservation instincts once he gets stuck into a fight.

In the comic V for Vendetta, one of the minor antagonists is Alistair Harper, a violent Scot - who, while he prefers killing with knives - is also an arms dealer, strangely enough (given the above description). Not only that. The comic makes several references to Scotland not being entirely under the control of the Norsefire government. Just think about that for a second. The comic has the UK surviving nuclear war, the subsequent environmental disaster, and the rise of a totalitarian government, and you still can't keep this trope down. |

Then he teams up with Dirty Cop Leonard, Sassy Black Woman Tisha, and Mikhail, a former Russian hitman, in order to get revenge on the captain who ratted them out to the pirates. And in the hands of a competent player, he can be a One-Man Army. | |

Depending on whose side you take in the Battle of the Birds, you can end up fighting him over he wanting to keep the Time Piece to undo the one loss he had against DJ Grooves.

According to Mike Myers' character in So I Married an Axe Murderer, the Scots have their own form of martial arts called "Fuh'kew" which is comprised of "...mostly headbutts, and then kicking the other person when they're on the ground." While the character himself isn't particularly violent, his father (also played by Myers) definitely fits the trope. | |

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Zigzagged in a really weird and spoilerrific way. This year's Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is a Brave Scot and a veteran Auror named Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody. From the outset, he's gruff, paranoid, and occasionally violent and unhinged. He also apparently enjoys terrorizing his students, as seen when he demonstrates the three Unforgivable Curses in front of them and when he torments Draco Malfoy after transmogrifying him into a ferret. Nonetheless, he seems to be a genuinely good guy and an invaluable mentor to Harry. Near the end of the book, though, he ultimately reveals himself to be the mastermind behind Voldemort's return. But then he turns out to be an impostor. In the later books, Mad-Eye Moody is noticeably less of a loose cannon. In The Film of the Book, Mad-Eye Moody is played by Brendan Gleeson with Gleeson's natural Irish accent, whereas Moody's impersonator is played by Scotsman David Tennant with a fake English accent. |

BattleTech Planets such as Caledonia and Northwind are among the planets settled by Scots. The latter has a mercenary unit to its name, the Northwind Highlanders, who fall under the trope of the Brave Scot, especially in the latter portion of the post-Jihad timeline. They are also some of the most passionate Mechwarriors in the series, especially the novels. This includes a scene where two Highlanders with a grudge fight it out in a bar while the other Highlanders, including command officers, drink, officiate, and bet on the outcome of the two-man bar brawl. Later pieces demonstrate that in more extreme cases of internal strife, they can and will fight fair against their own (they take to the field in their Battlemechs and use live ammo, but intentionally aim low to avoid hitting the other pilots), but are bloody wicked scrappers against anyone else they see as an outsider. The Royal Black Watch were the personal bodyguard regiment of the Cameron ruling family of the Star League. When their liege was assassinated, their response was to dispatch jetpack infantry the Royal palace and begin bombarding the place—not with grenades, but satchel charges. When the usurper Amaris nuked the regiment, the eight surviving warriors destroyed more than three times their own number before a desparate Amaris nuked them twice more. The Black Watch were hellraisers through and through, and amazingly there were actually survivors, whose response to being nuked thrice was to start finding and killing whatever usurper troops and officers they could find. You can't kill the goddamned Black Watch. Early pilots of Highlander-class 'Mechs, including a disproportionate number of actual Scots, discovered that it was big enough enough to jump onto enemy 'Mechs and crush them underfoot, heedless of the damage it might do to their own leg structures. The designers—which also included a number of actual Scots—decided that, instead of cautioning pilots against such violence, they would just reinforce the legs further and downright encourage future Highlander pilots to jump on people as a solution to their problems. |

An Hetalia: Axis Powers Original Character representing Scotland gained popularity on pixiv and over half of◊ the fanart for him◊ is him◊ beating up and maybe even raping◊ his◊ little brother◊ England. (Unless he is shown as France's super ally and Ho Yay partner). However, this seems unrelated to the stereotype, and is simply to make him a stereotypical Seme or Fetishized Abuser to be shipped with England. Needless to say, many western fans weren't very pleased with it. However, other fanarts of him subvert this as Scotland portrayed as more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold / Bruiser with a Soft Center and despite him picking endlessly on England, he does care for his little brother. Quite a few fanarts depicts him being quite gentle with England (both in the past and present). When nobody was around that is. (And not to mention, the few times that Nyotalia!England is used, Scotland treats her FAR better.) |

Agent 300 in Niels, despite being raised as a high society gentleman, is more than capable of lapsing into this from time to time. His accent meets the requirement only when he's drunk (and he's a silly drunk, not a mean drunk), and his most notable act of violence is when he went on an offscreen Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Niels for shooting Agent 250. He also threatened to break 250's arm if 250 started stuffing dollar bills into his kilt. | |

Game of Thrones: Sandor Clegane has shades of this. He claims to greatly enjoy violence and killing — the guilt-free killing of fighting other soldiers who are trying to kill you first. He will only fight someone once given an excuse, though once given an excuse he will happily rip your guts out. Still, instead of a hair-trigger temper, he's much more Tranquil Fury. Of course, his actor Rory McCann is actually from Glasgow. | |

The Demoman from Team Fortress 2 is a self-proclaimed black Scottish cyclops psychopath. His weapons are grenades, bombs that stick to anything they touch called, well, Stickybombs, and an empty bottle of Scrumpy. See this in his "Meet the Team" interview. His first three unlockable weapons; yet another kind of bomb, a massive Claymore (which is haunted and craves heads), and a shield which allows him to make berserker style charges. His other unlockable weapons include more swords and a high-yield pressure-activated explosive on a stick used as a melee weapon. You may notice a theme here. | |

Doctor Who: The Seventh and Twelfth Doctors both have Scottish accents. Seven and his English companion Ace are arguably an inversion, with Seven as the cool-headed Chessmaster (although he's still one of the more ruthless Doctors) and Ace as the Mad Bomber. The Twelfth Doctor, on the other hand, plays this trope for all it's worth. His accent is far more noticeable than Seven's, and he's the dourest and angriest Doctor since the First. He rarely gets physical, though, and he's still a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Still, he's the first NewWho Doctor to have gotten violent with someone outside self-defence. In "Thin Ice", when Lord Sutcliffe starts shouting racist and sexist abuse at his companion Bill, the Doctor taps his shoulder, then slugs him in the face as soon as he turns back around. Jamie, a companion of the Second Doctor, is a kilt-wearing, simple-minded Scot who primarily resorts to brute strength and violence to solve problems. Possibly justified in Jamie's case; he was picked up straight from the battlefield of Culloden, after all, and soldiers in general, let alone Scottish ones, are not very well known for being shrinking violets. Ironically, in the tie-in novel The Wheel of Ice by Stephen Baxter, Jamie has trouble warming up to a Scots-accented robot because it claims its origins are Glaswegian. He calls Glaswegians "lowland jessies" who sided against the Jacobites. In "Asylum of the Daleks", when Amy slaps Rory for asking a stupid question, Oswin asks if Amy seems more angry than usual (since that would indicate the Dalek conversion was further along than they thought). In "The Name of the Doctor", it is revealed that Strax, having discovered the concept of the weekend off, has taken to traveling up to Glasgow in order to get into bar fights with the only people in the universe able to equal the Sontarans for sheer bloody-minded aggression. Michelle Gomez uses her natural Glaswegian accent when playing The Master, and Gomez's incarnation (nicknamed "Missy") is at least as psychopathic as her predecessors. The In-Universe explanation is that Missy took a liking to Twelve's accent and copied it. |

Fleetus from Brütal Legend looks and sounds the part, but as he only appears as a racing opponent he never actually has a chance to act violently. In Western RPGs with voice acting, dwarves with the stereotypical hard-drinking hard-fighting tough-as-nails demeanor are often portrayed with a Scottish accent. This also appears in WarCraft 2, where the dwarven engineers all say things such as "Ah like tae blow things up!" in thick Scots accents. |

Casino Royale (1967) has a bunch of tough Scotsmen who challenge Bond to a game of catch with stone cannonballs, a Highland marching band that roughs up Peter Sellers in a programmed hallucination, and Scots henchmen in Woody Allen's underground lair. Also, French police officer Mathis speaks with a Scots accent, which worries him. | |

Jimmy Wilson in The Darkness II's Vendettas mode is a walking, axe-throwing personification of this trope. | |

Tomb Raider (2013) has Grim, a Scottish cook on the Endurance. He's a friendly guy, he enjoyed fishing until an incident in the Loch and he supports Lara when they meet up in the game, however, when the Cultists take him hostage, he gives a reverse headbutt to the captor holding him, took his machete and killed his second captor and tackled his third captor off the platform in a Dying Moment of Awesome. | |

Gimli is this in the film version of The Lord of the Rings because Dwarves, in general, were portrayed to have Scottish accents. For the same reason, Dwalin and Dáin Ironfoot (the latter played by Billy Connolly, natch) are this as well in the film version of The Hobbit. |

Hengist and the Mercians in Merlin. Yes, Hengist was the leader of the Germanic tribes in England, and Mercia is the modern English Midlands. It's Merlin. | |
