Glasgow & Aberdeen Fight Over Willy

These two Scottish locations Glasgow and Aberdeen (and their officials) have been arguing about where Groundskeeper Willie “hails” from because there are two references about both Aberdeen and Glasgow in episodes of the Simpsons.

In Season 8 in Simpsoncalifragilisticexpialad’ohcious, Willie reminisces about Shary Bobbins: “Then she got her eyesight back. Suddenly the ugliest man in Glasgow wasn’t good enough for her!”

However, in the Season 14 episode, ‘Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky, Willie wakes from a nap shouting “Go Aberdeen!”

And in another episode he says he “hails” from North KiltTown, which if you were wondering doesn’t exist, the closest location is Kilton in Somerset, England.
