It always take me a little while to tune into "the Doric" although it is principally an accent and pronunciation thing. Going in Scots is "Gan" down in Dumfries-shire and Newcastle, in Aberdeen it is "gang" in Glasgow it is "gaun" - all variations in accent. There are always regional words specific to an area but, generally, the language is the same. Ulster Scots, for instance has the word "kaleeried" meaning scatter-brained which doesn't exist in Scots but it also has many other Scots words that are the same. If you ask an Aberdonian the way to somewhere he may well say "gang stracht on" (go straight on) which is pure Scots just pronounced differently from other areas.
