SCOTTISH dads have been revealed as the least funny in the UK.
Highland whisky distillery Tomatin has unveiled the most embarrassing father traits after surveying the nation ahead of Father’s Day this weekend.
Results revealed a mere 19 per cent of Scots thought their dads were the funniest members of their family, compared to 20.3 per cent in the rest of the UK.
In celebration of dads across the UK and their groan-tastic gags, Tomatin surveyed the public and found 23.5 per cent of Scots found their dad’s jokes were the most embarrassing trait, compared to 14 per cent of the rest of the UK.

Jennifer Masson, marketing manager of Tomatin, said: “Most dads are notorious for their fashion sense, dancing and jokes - much to the embarrassment of their children.
"So, we thought in celebration of Father’s Day this weekend, we would ask the Scottish public to find out what they think and what better way to raise a glass to all the dads out there!”
In close second, 15 per cent of Scots thought their dad’s dancing was the most embarrassing trait, compared to 11.9 per cent of the UK.
However, Scottish dads can redeem themselves, as 7.6 per cent of the UK said their dad’s fashion sense was the most embarrassing trait, while only 6.5 per cent of Scots said their dad’s style was a major fashion faux-pas.

Comedy veteran Fred MacAulay also delivered the top five dad jokes as voted for by the public.
Fred added: “The Dad joke is notoriously unfunny — steeped in captain-obvious observations and painful puns, so it was a bit of a challenge delivering them with comedy kudos, but it was really good fun.”
