American living in Scotland has viewers in stitches with hilarious Blantyre review

We all think our hometown is a bit of a joke but how much funnier would it be to see it through an American's eyes?

One TikTok user has done just that and it's as hilarious as you would imagine.

For the latest in his series as an American living in Scotland, Mark Cole has created a video showing anyone who might be unfamiliar the sights of Blantyre.

You might not think there's much to see but having now attracted over 26,000 views it's clear that people are interested.

His quips include the Red Burn Farm - a local carvery - where he says they "trade cattle" and Broompark "where the locals learn how to play quidditch".

Blantyre is hilariously branded "the town of original street names" with a map showing First Road, Second Road, and Third Road all beside each other.

The John Lewis call centre is described as the place where "everyone in Blantyre has worked" - a joke we're sure locals will be in agreement with.

Nearly 200 commenters have posted on the video with locals in stitches.

As well as touring Blantyre, Mark has taken a look around the likes of Bothwell, Baillieston, Hamilton and Uddingston.
