Very cool! I'm bookmarking that one under "historic reference".
It's modern Scots and you're bookmarking it under "historic reference"? *\;-)
The strangest thing we encountered in Scotland was while we were in Glasgow hunting for our B&B, and we were asked for directions by a Scottish girl (I guess we looked like locals). I don't know where she was from, I'm guessing from accent a distance north of Edinburgh, but we were barely able to understand each other at all. Had no trouble at all any other time there (we were around Scots a lot here).
