Pedants Corner Inc. - Speaking Scots as such is as impossible as speaking any other country's language - those in the South near the border have a different dialect from those in the central belt (as the more highly populated bit in the middle stretching from coast to coast is called) - and they in turn speak differently from those in the Highlands, the Islands, and the North East. And all have their own words for certain things - just to make life even more fun!!

However, whinge over, if there is anything I can help you with online Margot, I'd be delighted. My main area of knowledge is Glasgow/Ayrshire - but I know a wee tate (a little bit - tate pronounced "tayt" - wee - well I don't think it can be pronounced any other way!) about the Doric language/dialect which is from around Aberdeen. Cheers,

Mo
