About
Damned Scots, They Ruined Scotland is an exploitable template taken from The Simpsons in which Groundskeeper Willie is talking about people with whom the Scottish took issue with, including Scottish.

The template has been altered to comment upon toxic or combative communities online, fandoms or organizations.
