12 Emojis That Scotland Deserves To Get In 2016

If we don't get a Saltire soon, we might have another referendum on our hands.

1. Aye?

When you'd use it: If you doubt the authenticity of someone's story, or if you can't believe what they've just told you. As in: "Did ye, aye?"

2. Braveheart face

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: When you're feeling proud of being Scottish, you're angry about The Vow, or if you've just done something patriotic, like preventing an attack on Glasgow airport by booting a burning terrorist in the balls.

3. Yer Maw

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: If you're struggling for a comeback, or just feeling even more lazy than usual, you've always got old faithful there just in case.

4. Bottle of suncream

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: To get across how terribly sunburnt you are. "How was your week in Zante?" *20 suncream emojis in a row* *crying face*

5. Irn Bru

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: Whenever you want a can of ginger nectar. "You want anything from the shop?" "Aye! *Irn Bru emoji x 6.*"

6. MWI

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: When you have a fucking rager of a night, and/or pretty much the entire time you're at T In The Park. "What you up to the night, pal?" *MWI emoji*

7. Bottle of Bucky

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: If the night takes an eventful turn, or you just want to get so drunk you can't see, it's just a useful one to have in your emoji arsenal.

8. Midge

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: To refer to being outside at any point during the summer time. "Do you want to go camping?" "No fucking way. *Midge emoji.*"

9. Kilt

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: When someone asks you for the millionth time what you're going to wear to a wedding/ceilidh/party/the rugby/the football/anywhere.

10. Square go hand

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: If you're having a disagreement and you think it needs to be taken outside. Would usually be used after one too many bottle of Bucky emojis.

11. Swally

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: All the time. "Fancy a swally?"

12. Saltire

Sian Butcher / BuzzFeed

When you'd use it: Any time you're posting about something remotely Scottish. Whether its your whisky hangover or, of course, celebrating St. Andrew's Day on Facebook, the saltire is the icing on the (Tunnock's tea)cake.
