Appearance
Depending on the time, sometimes he is seen in medieval-type armour.

In modern pieces of art, he is usually seen with a white shirt and tie (suit like) and wearing a kilt, a Scottish garment resembling a knee-length skirt of pleated tartan cloth. (Traditional highlands clothing.)

Character
Often seen as cheerful and friendly, but often embarrassed and angry when he is joked about. Sometimes when angry, his accent is stronger and slangs some of his words.

Interests
Scotland has a passion for playing the bagpipes at special moments. Though mostly stereotypical, he still loves it. Played often at funerals and weddings mostly. Sometimes at New Year as well.

Scotland has some interest in poetry and songs too. "Auld lang syne." is a popular song (originally poem) played at New Year in Scotland, made by famous Scottish author, Robert Burns.

Flag meaning
There are some legends and theories about the meaning behind the Scottish flag such as:

"Walter Bower in his Scotichronicon (1440s) supplies a legend according to which Saint Andrew appears to king Óengus II in 832, on the eve of a battle against the Angles. The saint advises the king to watch for the 'sign of the Cross of Christ in the air'. The 'Cross of Christ' in this legend is later turned into the Saint Andrew's Cross or Saltire, in the account of George Buchanan (1506–1582), where 'a miraculous white saltire appeared in the blue sky' during the battle."
