Commuters coming into Haymarket train station were left a bit perplexed on 11 August, when they were confronted with glossy signs inviting them to come along to a new Scottish Twitter visitor centre, which is apparently planned for 21 Blackfriars Street in the city centre.

For anyone not in the know - perhaps you haven't been on the internet since 2010 - Scottish Twitter is arguably the nation's finest export, and largely consists of sweary jokes in Scots that are shared online, mainly on the r/ScottishPeopleTwitter subreddit.

Scottish Twitter came to prominence after BuzzFeed UK's Luke Bailey spent about a year collecting weird tweets, which he then unleashed upon the world in August 2015 in an article titled "35 Reasons Scottish Twitter Is The Wildest Place On The Internet."

The article went viral and reached millions, bringing classics like "maw bought aldi shower gel that smells like fairy liquid so I've been cutting about all day smelling like a f**ing plate" and "Can live wi paying 5p for one but am sick of having to f**in light the beacons of Gondor to summon someone anytime I want a bag in Asda" to a worldwide audience for the first time.

And now it seems that the wondrous phenomenon that is Scottish Twitter is getting its very own visitor centre - vindicating everyone who has ever said that these tweets deserve to be in a museum.

In a tweet on 11 August, poet Catherine Wilson said:

"Just walked through Haymarket and they’re putting up adverts for a Scottish Twitter Visitor Centre. Whit?!"



Her followers were suitably amazed and confused.



Sara Tate said: "I am confused by this on so many levels."



While Cian added: "We live in interesting times."

Many other people suggested tweets that should definitely be featured in any visitor centre:





We've done some in-depth research* into the visitor centre, but so far we've drawn a blank. If you have any more information about it, please do let us know. You can email us at news@edinburghlive.co.uk, or tweet to @edinburghlive_.

*Googled it for a bit.
