That’s fascinating. I understand that there was a lot of ‘Scandinavian’ influence on the Scots language and accent. The culture in northern Scotland (Orkney and Shetland) remains closely linked to ancient ‘Viking’ culture.
I hope you have a ‘cup of kindness’ (or two!) at Hogmanay!!
Thank you for replying
Best wishes
Michael

You’ve kept us all chuckling and reminiscing and thinking about things (in the way only you can!) over the past year and I just wanted to say thank you.
Take care, you’re my favourite Marmite!
