Rudest places names in Scotland from 'Brawl' to 'Twatt'

Shitterton, Wetwang and Stranagalwilly are just some of the intriguing town and village names you'll find on a new map of the UK's "Rudest Place Names".

The fun map, created by dating advice specialists mydatingadviser.com, includes seven locations across Scotland.

Travellers could pass through several places with names like Brawl, Brokenwind, Lost, and Whiterashes as they make their way across Scotland.

These fascinating locations see people travelling from across the UK to pose with their road signs for photos.

The most famous of these in Scotland, is Twatt on Orkney.

Writing about the now-famous site, the My Dating Adviser team wrote: "This is a small settlement on the Orkney Islands. The name originates from the Old Norse þveit, meaning 'small parcel of land'.

"Twatt is an excellent destination to explore Scotland’s Orkney Islands in its rugged beauty. Not to be confused with another Twatt on the Shetland Islands."

All in all, there are 77 Rude British Place Names on the list picked out by the site, which you can find here, along with the map.

Other Scottish locations include Dull and the Bastard.
