In the Edinburgh area, at least, sheep said 'Meh' and in fact condescending
adults would tell small children they were 'Sheepy Meh's'. I can recall no
other animal sounds peculiar to my Lowlands area apart from crows saying
'Craw, craw' but we call them Craws anyhow, onomatopoeic and better than the
English Crow.

When in Russia I found that humans attracted cats with 'Kss Kss' rather than
'Pss Pss'. In view of early Scandanavian influences in Russia is there any
connection here.
