Ach weel means oh well.  They also say ach or och when something goes wrong. Like if they stub a toe or drop something, you’ll hear, "Ach!" Sometimes it’s followed by a "bloody hell" or a sweary word that you would definitely understand.
Dinnae = don’t
Gonnae = going
Flair = floor (it took me a long time to figure that one out)
kin = can
ken = know |

| Excellent If you ever visit Scotland, make sure you bring a good supply of Mountain Dew with you. You wouldn’t want to go into withdrawls on Princes Street (where all of the tourists go shopping). People would think you were a street performer and throw money at you! |

i picked up scottish from an great old movie called kiddnapped. it’s about a jackobite and a lowlander running from king george’s men, and it is absolutely wonderful.
"and david balfore did have sons, and they were niether highlander nor lowlander, they were SCOTS!!"
Yeah, that was a good movie. |
