I'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.

Out of interest - did they use loons & quines in Tomintoul - I'm from Portknockie originally.

  Yes they do. My did still uses quine all the time. For me it kinda dropped off of my vocabulary.
