This is the Conversation Forum for The h2g2 Volunteers << Uni sub-ed needed Are you Recruiting? >> Subject: Talking Scots Posted May 9, 2003 by Tommy Mac   Posting 1 I have a terrible tendency to drop in some Scottish words and sayings whenever I 'talk' and this seems to throw a lot of people . Therefore I offer my services as an interpreter . If you come across any Scottish word or saying I will be happy to try to explain it for you. Lang may yer lum reek.

I'll be there dreckly. Conversation list Conversation list
