saltire my brother makes a question out of every sentence, adds 'a?' to end of it..i find it weird now..
feel like asking what are you asking?

how come? instead of why, always..

DH's mate from Dundee always says "how come".
I use glaikit a lot..

I knew I'd arrived when I told him, 'DH, the flair is no storage for your klaze.'

There's a shop in Musselburgh high street selling women's garments called 'Klaze'.

Haahaahaa.

The Cumbernauld accent always makes me laugh. Because the last word goes up in tone, absolutely every sentence is made to sound like a question. I find it highly amusing..

flair, clathes,
cloot - i use that word for cloth, as in
"Have you seen my flair cloot"
Have you seen my floor cloth

The neighbour got a new cat. And her other cat was being evil to it.

'I had to give her a clout'.

Clootie dumpling

Stovies. Say no more.

Well there's clout, and cloot. At least that's what i say. Mind you, someone in England once told me that the reason i spoke with such a broad scots accent was because i came from a place so near to the English border that i made my accent stronger in case it suddenly turned into an English one.
I personally don't think my accent is strong, and living amongst military people i meet folk from all over the UK, all of whom speak in the regional accent and expect me to understand them, but stnad there looking, well, glaikit, when i speak and ask me to "speak properly"

zephry, a good example clootie dumpling is a dumpling wrapped in a clootie - a cloth

love boil yer heid my man says this quite often.. well he has done in the past

Saltire do people really say you speaker with a stronger accent so you don't turn English? lol

I was born in England but my Nan and Grandad brought me up to be very 'Scottish' which my Mum hated!! I've always had quite a strong Aberdonian accent - but only when I speak to anyone Scottish, even if it's a random customer services person on the phone! Other than that my accent is very English.

I think in Scottish most of the time though.... strange!!!!

These threads always make me want to live in Scotland

Come live with me Zephyrcat. It'll soon change your mind

Millionaires shortbread anyone?

Portree Kid lyrics here (to tune of 'Ghost riders in the Sky')
My personal faves are Sunday Driver and the Bricklayers Song

We are coming up in the Summer to take dd to visit her Reindeer up in the cairngorms. I know I won't want to leave!!

Yes! Someone else knows the Portree Kid!!

Bought this cd.
Has them all on it!!
Relived my misspent youth, and introduced dh, who hadn't heard them

Come on Zephyrcat. Just take the plunge and move up here - easy done. You know you want to

Although the weather is pretty horrendous at the moment, perhaps leave it until next week...

I'd up there like a shot!

That's settled then. I'm off to clear out the cupboard under the stairs for you. It's pretty spacious...

Fantastic. Done! (there are 5 of us - is it a big cupboard??)

"E e' i' a'" (my dh can't say tis but it makes him laugh)

"I ate it all" probably referring to a pe'

my first ever concert was a corries concert, I can remember lots of foot stamping, crowds joining in and getting an ice cream at the break

It's like the tardis Zephyrcat (only without the Daleks and Father Xmas's thankfully. - at least they weren't there last time I ventured in!)
