Long Scottish Jokes (About Stinginess) Stories
Once upon a time in a small village in Scotland, there lived a particularly stingy man named Angus. One day, he was walking along the road when he stumbled across a golden coin. Instead of spending it, he quickly hid it in a jar at home. That night, he told his wife, “I found a coin, but let’s not spend it on anything foolish!”.
At the local pub, Angus bragged about his coin. His friends were curious, and one day, they decided to pry the secret out of him. In an elaborate scheme, they pretended to need help with an investment and offered him half of their own coin in exchange for the golden one. Angus suspiciously agreed, thinking he had outsmarted them — not realizing they were playing a trick to draw out his stinginess!
After that incident, Angus never mentioned the coin again. But his friends noticed how he’d sneak bits of food into the pub, making sure he could enjoy his drinks without paying for meals. They would tease him covertly, saying, “Looks like someone brought their own sarnies!” But they never truly understood his frugality.
One sunny Sunday, his wife suggested going for a picnic. Angus replied, “Why do that? We can eat at home for free!” She persisted, and finally, he agreed. On the day, they went, but Angus insisted on bringing a cloth instead of a picnic basket. When it was time to eat, he pulled out stale bread and a couple of tomatoes. His wife sighed but ate anyway — then he pointedly remarked on how the fancy picnickers were wasting money on gourmet food!
Years later, the villagers didn’t talk about Angus’s wealth; instead, they spoke of his laughter when he stubbornly refused to share snacks at the game, even though everyone else was enjoying feasts. He became a local legend, known as “Angus the Frugal,” and even though they laughed, they learned a valuable lesson. Perhaps being too stingy could keep the laughter away, but friendship is worth sharing a meal once in a while!
Once, a Scotsman took his wife shopping. Upon noticing how expensive everything was, he told her to just look around: “We’re not here to buy, we just want a free sample!” The wife rolled her eyes, and they left after a brief argument about not leaving with at least one thing. She consoled herself by pocketing a few complementary mints — but not a word about Angus was mentioned as she returned home!
One winter, Hutchie, known for his stinginess, decided to host a New Year’s party but insisted everyone should bring a bottle. When friends arrived with various drinks, they were shocked to find Hutchie handed them all cups — noting that he didn’t want to “waste valuable drinks on strangers!” By the end, his guests vowed never again to join him — or else, they’d feel “overly generous” and bring their own snacks next time!
In another tale, a Scottish gran wanted to gift her grandson a birthday present. When he mentioned how all his friends had tablets, she borrowed from her stash of old newspapers to carefully wrap her gift — a used football she found outside. With a huge smile, she handed it over, “Look! My love is priceless but the price of a game is free!” Her grandson just shrugged, realizing he might have to learn his bargain-hunting skills a bit more diligently from his gran!
There’s a local legend of a Scotsman who ran into a magician at a market who promised to grant him one wish. The Scotsman thought long and hard, eventually wishing for unlimited wealth. The magician laughed and said, “You could’ve wished for happiness or love!” to which the Scotsman replied, “What’s the point of happy if the money isn’t right?” Chuckling, the magician poofed away — and left the Scotsman alone to wonder if true happiness could be found in just saving the next penny.
At the community fair, everyone was enjoying cotton candy and candy apples, but Old McGregor was the only vendor selling fruit. When asked why, he replied, “I’ll be providing exactly what people don’t want! I’m saving others from bad decisions!” Nobody knew it was part of his ‘frugal living’ campaign, which made him famous for years afterwards — a special fruit guy who didn’t believe in costly sweets.
A young tar named Bruce went to sea with the strictest captain, who believed in saving every last penny. One day the ship spotted an iceberg, and while it frightened the crew, Captain McDonald insisted they reroute instead of wasting coal to get back on course. Weeks later, his crew, starved of their gold-storage behaviour, returned and dubbed him “Captain Penny-Pincher,” realizing that some savings were too much to sacrifice!
Every Sunday, a church full of Scots would gather, and the minister always spoke about goodwill. One day, the church needed renovations, and when it came time for the offering, old Timmy whispered loudly, “I’m giving a tenth of my earnings!” But another voice shot back, “Aye, if only we had a penny to spare for building!” Giggles filled the hall at how generosity was often cut down to dry dust from nostalgia—but everyone learned from those moments not to be too tight!
And so it goes; tales of Scots who balance humor and frugality spread through the lands. Friends may poke fun at one another’s habits, but in the end, laughter is more valuable than any coin, teaching all that sharing—even with a pinch of salt—makes life richer. May the stinginess fade, and joy come forward instead!
