Vacation in Scotland

[Kiltedjohn]

Many years ago, an English cousin visited me in Glasgow. He was under the (wrong) impression that, if he kept his ears open, he would hear people speaking Gaelic. Someone passed by (a mother with a small child) talking in the broadest of Glasgow accents.
My cousin asked excitedly, "Is that Gaelic?" I answered (truthfully) "No." I have thought ever since that I should have said "Yes." It would really have made his day!
