- which reminds me of the great poem (my dad used to recite) / song (as sung by the late John Eaglesham on 'Half Cut' cd) about how to go about 'poaching rhinosauruses'
- too late at night for me to check the spelling but that's roughly how it is pronounced in the piece!

As for Richard's comments - are you regretting that Burns wrote mainly in Scots (?!), or that few people (Scots or otherwise) bother to seek out the meaning of the song?

Most people of my acquaintance have a reasonable understanding of Scots - they often use Scottish words in their conversation and writing. There are a couple of excellent Scots dictionaries available, and anyone who is familiar with the work of Robert Burns will have be familiar with the language.

(I read recently that there's an app - I am not sure what an app is? - that allows Scots to be used on a phone keypad).

I don't know many people who speak Lallans, tho there are some people who write letters to the papers using it
