Anyone named something like “McLeodalini” might be suspect.
OTOH, there is “Campbell” - which derives from “campo bella."
Same thing happened to me on a train in France. A guy said something, and I told him, “Sorry, don’t speak German”. He said, “ahm spikkin English ya blewdy bahstahd.” ONce I realized he was scottish, I could understand him.
I’ll be on the lookout for that.
I just heard a lot of gutteral sounds that sounded like acch and agh and words I didn’t understand, and (I am usually very good at recognizing languages even if I don’t speak them) I thought it was German. He ended up being a good guy. I hope the Scots never lose that accent, the way southerners are losing theirs from TV and in-migration. I would miss both.
It sure would explain some of the redheads in the family.
“The spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free”
Not the Scots of today, who have embraced socialism and dependence. They pine to free themselves of Great Britain to then eagerly submit to the EU.
