......or so it claims here.

That's Scottish workers in Perthshire who don't want to work in hospitality, not all Scots ... and it might just be that that hotel has a reputation locally as a bad place to work. I find it all very convenient that the place is run by Aussies and, surprise surprise, they are employing Aussies.
We (my employer, that is) have more than a couple of hotels north of the border and I can tell you that the guest satisfaction survey results we get from that part of the UK are consistently better than elsewhere.

Re: Scots workers "rude and lazy"
My sister has lived in Scotland for the last 20 years & our family have a time share chalet in Aviemore, that we have visited most of those years. At no time have we ever seen any evidence of Scots being rude or lazy - quite the opposite, in fact!
I suspect there is an element of getting back what you give out going on here....

Sounds like there is a kind of race issue here. They appear to think that because someone is Australia they are a better worker than someone born in Sconny Botland. Perhaps a Scottish person should apply for a job and put on an Aussie ascent!

Quote from article:
Bosses of a hotel in Scotland say they have been forced to employ Australian staff - because the locals are too rude and lazy.
1) Source of article - Sky News.
2) Owner of Sky - Rupert Murdoch.
3) Nationality at birth of Rupert Murdoch - Australian.
QED

The majority ownership of sky is public and institutional shareholders.
