I remember that poem Zillah... and I seem to recall hearing it in broad Scots at one point too. Some poems do stick with you forever don't they, no matter how hard you try to shake them off!

some books are actually translated into Scots - it's not a dialect but actually considered a language. And Mary Stuart stunned her subjects by being able to address them in pure Scots when she got off the boat from France.

my one and only trip to relatives in Edinburgh was so cold I haven't been back again in 6yrs!! I did like Edinburgh but the cold...!!!

For me it's enough to have a Scottish doctor!!
