In Edinburgh, many of the stsff spoke in the style of Miss Jean Brodie ("Ai em in mai praim") In fact Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey, Harry Potter) epitomises that type. I remember a formidable woman, Miss Mackenzie, singing "Come o'er the sea Chairlie and dine wi' McClean" in a cut glass Morningside accent (The school wasn't far from Morningside, in Bruntsfield) . But Glasgow was wonderful, so genuine and vibrant, as were the songs. I spoke both 'Edinburgh' and 'Glasgae' quite well I feel. eldergirl, how nasty of that snobby teacher to accost you like that. Shame on her!
