Scottish English to Canadian English Dictionary

It's amazing to experience a different culture with the same language as you and yet still so many differences. When I first moved to Scotland I would love comparing everything to back home (Still do hehe). Here is my Dictionary of Scottish English to Canadian English that I have experienced!
