Is This English?

I don't know, if you can live in Scotland and understand people I reckon you could understand English being spoken pretty much anywhere else.

Oh I don't know about that, I'm a fifer and I once had to do deliveries up in Aberdeen area in the early 80s.
I stopped an elderly gent and asked directions, thanked him and went straight to nearest garage I could find and bought a map.
I did not have a clue what he was saying. I think it was doric or chinese or Vietnamese or Spanish or a mix of them all. .
 

“Gopping it was”, how appropriate on an “is this English thread” ! All I can say is, away ye go and dinnae fash me, man. You’re just a pure wee scunner, Paul. And I bet that camp was likely mawkitt in the extreme.

Well JohnnyO it's been awhile since Ive been called a wee scunner, but if anyone was going to call me it I would rather it be you!

I agree that whisky from Scotland is just whisky (what other kind is there?), but what about scotch eggs and scotch pancakes? For some reason the Scots don't like being referred to as Scotch although there is precedent for that usage going back to Shakespeare's time.
