Farnence = beside
Sheugh = Drain or ditch
Sheigh= hay stack
A merch deich = boundary hedge
"The moss" = Bogland
A pirty spinner = potato harvester
A wachlin = A useless person
A Hallion = A rough or argumentative person
Hold your whist = be quiet

Are you Scottish ? I am. You know you are a true Scot if ye can properly pronounce McConnochie, Ecclefechan, Sauchiehall Street, St Enoch, Auchtermuchty & Aufurfuksake. (edit if appropriate Dan & Rosemary ;))

I ken fine fit a that is a aboot, Karen, cos I wis barn n bred in aiberdeen! ;D
-
y or ies at the end is common around here (Fife/Tayside) meaning a wee one tho it might not be quite so wee ;)
Others I like are the bidie in (live in partner) and dreich (the most common weather and it just says it all - grey, damp.. )
The most annoying Fife habit is adding eh or eh? at the end of every sentence or even every 4 words - more south Fife than here but still :(
-
iv got the shetland cow centenary book - now that needs a dictionary - they seem to call cows - coos, so thats easy, then they call them kyes, dont know if that means incalf?? i just guess
-
And the way they say 'cheerio' intrigues me, I say cheer-y-o - but down here it's Chir O
And I love being called pal, doll, darlin, hen. Up the road it was always 'dear' and I cannot stand being called 'dear' by people who don't know me. ::)

When I was a child living adjacent to a dairy farm (nearly half a century ago), the cows were called in for milking by the dairyman standing at the gate & calling KYES, KYES. The dairy cattle duly wandered up & into their favourate stalls without any further instruction.
