Scots are known for their wordplay and even the English language in Scotland has plenty of everyday words with totally different meanings - including seemingly innocent ones like winch or tube.
As we merge comedic wordplay with our own languages like Scots to create hilarious outcomes, the pun-nacle of this wit can be found all over the businesses that you casually happen upon here.
For example, if you visited Scotland but didn’t get the chance to hunt Nessie in the Scottish Highlands then you needn't worry, who needs Loch Ness when you’ve got Wok Ness available in Edinburgh.
Indeed, there’s a pun for every kind of buyer in Scotland. So, here are 32 punny Scottish business names for you to enjoy.

6. Aff Yer Heid Gents' Barber
In Scotland, if you say someone's "aff their heid" (off their head) it's like calling them crazy - but in this case it's just having a nice trim, and you WOULD be 'aff yer heid' to not go for such a quality establishment. Photo: via Billy McCrorie (Geograph)
7. Jac-O-Bite
Located up in the highlands this restaurant references the Jacobites who were a famous political group in Scottish history - now we're wondering if they sell baked goods like flapjack-o-bites... Photo: Submitted Photo
