For anyone interested in Scots:

I have no idea whether it is a language or not but the Doric version of Scots I used as a child ("loon") is pretty much incomprehensible to anyone not from the immediate area - terrible punishments were inflicted on anyone unwise enough to utter a word of Scots in school!
It's a sair fecht
Edit: An example of the terrible punishments inflicted by teachers would be a skelped lug.

- teh_klev 6y agoI'm from Tomintoul originally and spoke Doric as a kid. When I moved to the central belt no-one knew what the hell I was saying and sadly the Doric was gradually beaten out of me. That said I can still fall back into Doric mode whenever I meet another fellow traveller from the area.
