I've never 'got'

You haven't lived till you've heard a drunk in a Glaswegian karaoke bar belting out "Some times it's hard tae be a wumman". Scottish dude ranches are also a thing.

There's a maudlin element of Scottish culture where Country music fits right in.

Ended up in a country bar in rural Alberta. It took me a while to adjust to the fact that these were real cowboy types not cosplayers. They all wanted to be the White Hat Cowboy

Country music and the dress up like cowboys thing that seems to go alongside it.

*Recalls living in Belfast in the 1980s with country singer parents who left the house most nights dressed in fringed shirts and 10-gallon hats with guitars over their shoulders while the country blew up around us.

What you grow up with, you don't see as weird...
