My granny is a Highlander and she brought me up, so I speaks proper like!

Does she have a sword?

Nah but she's got a flippin hefty walking stick that inflicts about the same amount of damage!!!

Lethal she is with it!

You worked DOWN here then? Or are you from here?

Both, Alison and I don't speak the lingo either. However, a few weeks back I was given a copy of a CD by St Andrew and the Woolen Mills and the 'peh' and 'ingin bridie' are quotes from one of the songs on that CD. Last week a friend visiting from Dundee brought up another 4 CD's by a Fintry poet and all of the verses were in the local dialect with an abundance of swear words both local and universal. I preferred the St Andrews CD.

Oooh, I had the wrong direction then? You mean there's somebody further north than me??

And I'd never believe you could have put "Fintry" and "poet" in the same sentence!!!

I've lived here all my life, but I struggle to understand people who speak broad Dundonian.................... it's a whole other language.
