To the Edinburgh Fringe where they are celebrating the best of Scottish Twitter ‘in all its sweaty, hysterical, sometimes incomprehensible glory’.

Along with an ‘immersive visitor centre’ – sounds exciting – a panel of comedians are also going to choose ‘Scotland’s funniest tweet’ from a shortlist including these 8 all-time classics of the genre.

Fucking class having a shower at your girlfriends. Using stuff like a charcoal facial scrub and a pomegranate & mango shower milk, I’ve came out the shower smelling like a fresh fruit market on a hot summers day, feeling like a brand new woman. 13/10 would recommend.
