The conceptual analysis of paremiological units, having home/hame, man, success, woman/mother, friend, children/bairns, wit, devil, peace, bread, God, bird as their basic conceptual component, on a firm linguocultural and linguocognitive bases, shows that Scottish paremiological units were formed on the basis of national values and wisdom. The true method of such analysis is the conceptual one whose task is to present national values and mentality in the completeness of thought. Thus, Scottish national mentality, values and wisdom become highlighed on general human values as a result of the knowledge obtained by this ethnic group’s positive experience. This knowledge is memorised in the form of patterns.
