Scots Speak: For Beginners

[slave327-834-200]

Asia my lovely lady,

Were you from Morningside (posh bit of the fair city of Edinburgh) you may well say scone as in bone, but my granny was a domestic science teacher and a fine maker of the scone and she lived in Newton Mearns (posh bit of the perhaps not so fair city of Glasgow) and she and the other guild ladies said scone as in non.

Accent is a funny thing here in Scotland, i agree that a good Scottish burr really makes me purr but having moved further north of late the way that some people this way talk affects me like sandpaper to my face! I have found myself having to walk away from conversations because the grating sound is too much!

Give me a west coast lilt anyday!

Hurrah - clarification at last!
Reside in Auld Reekie (worked at the REH in Morningside many years ago) but mostly work in Glasgow now (the reason this post was started!) My man is from D&G (shivers at thoughts of West Coast accents)- harsh enough to get me excited at 'tha nicht hen' *smiles*

The Highlanders - they sound Welsh to me, but what do I know?!
Great to see yet another Scot in here honey

Ah the Burgh, was my home for the last 10 years, before moving 6 months ago, how i miss the Sunshine on Leith, as do all those still living there! lol

I am missing the festival though, glad i wellied the arse out of it last year!

Give my regards to all the bars, for i cannie get good cocktail here for love nor money, nor sexual favours! Raspberry Ripple at Dragonfly - heaven.

Going to fix myself a wee afternoon White Russian on that note!

Hugs

Same here honey! From Cannongate to Leith Docks - I love those seagulls - so peaceful *laughs* The Proclaimers were taking the pish for sure *smiles*

Festival is in full flow as wondeful as ever, even the wee gadgies! Don't mention Russians in any way, shape or form to me - I just get very excited *wink*
