    I guess this is the Scottish version of "you might be a redneck if...."

    More please, if they are out there.

    I had a little trouble with some of the words listed near the end. I had an uncle who was born in Milngavie, though, so I know how to say it. He married into my family by marrying an Englishwoman, though, so I don't have a drop of Scots' blood. We visited them in Scotland and they came to see us in England when I was young.

    Since moving to the US, I had a Scots lady as my boss at one time, and once, just to tease an American lady colleague I said "Och aye, it's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht tonicht" of which the American lady didn't understand anything and of course my boss did. You can have so much fun just with nonsense phrases like that.

    Well, if you consider that the original Rednecks were Scottish Covenanters, you might be on to something there.

    Crackers too, have their origins in Scotland and Ireland.
