Hi Folk:

FYI From the Scotsman Online

"Join us on a 'dander' from the 'barry' denizens of Edinburgh and the
'gallus' folk of Glasgow, taking a detour 'doon-bye' to the Borders and
Dumfries & Galloway and then, ensuring that you have first remembered to
take your 'piece' with you, 'gang' north through the 'braes', 'lochs' and
'glens' of the 'couthy' Highlands, where you might spend an evening or two
on the 'randan' before reaching the 'rowie' loving 'quines' and 'loons' of
the North East."
- John Abernethy 2009

The meanings and origins of 100s of Scottish words and phrases explained
in this fun and fascinating read for all the family.
