Thanks for the above. I already knew about that site. I prefer to use

http://www.i-foo.com/~kturtle/misc/xsamchart.gif

for IPA/Sampa conversions

But I'm curious about the pronunciation /tQ:?I/  That would make it
sound more like 'taughtie' to English ears. Isn't Scottish  English
short  'a'  /a/ ? Is it different in Scots
