Thank you very much to all of you ( or as my mum would say "thanks ever so much") an expression that was never used in Scotland. There is more than enough for me to be getting on with at present and I find it fascinating that some of you are even descendants of the writers.

Best wishes,

In the process of reading  A Scots Quair by Lewis Grassic Gibbon, the "action" taking place in Aberdeenshire.  I am so glad there is a glossary at the end of the book, as while I know a lot of the words, many if not most of them are new to me.
