TikTok is a weird and wonderful space which has flourished since lockdown.
Its short, often light-hearted videos have offered escape during the dark times of a global pandemic.
And creative people have flocked to it to make others laugh, smile or learn something – from dance routines to cooking hacks. So it’s no surprise that Scottish TikTok is fizzing with unique and often hilarious content.
From the Scot who launched the sea shanty craze, to the lass who lip synced Trainspotting dialogue while dressed as Disney Princess Merida – this is what the talented folk running Scottish TikTok have to offer.
