Yes, we moved from Yorks v early on.... another Scottish word I like is 'byke' for a wasp nest. And there's a nice short disquisition on the Auld Alliance in the works of Jane Grigson, who contended (possibly mischievously) that when scottish milkmaids called "Proochy moo" to the cattle, they were actually saying "Approachez moi".... oh yes, and partan for crab. We had a book in primary school called Angus the Tartan Partan.
