I'd genuinely never encountered that one until I saw it in a book a while back and had to look it up - might have been by somebody like Jack House or one of those older Scottish writers.

Must admit, I've gradually come round to the idea of Scots actually being a distinct language as opposed to a dialect; there are probably enough differences in vocabulary and syntax from English...I think what always put me off thinking of it as such previously was that bizarre Lallans thing that stitched together bits and pieces from different areas of the country and periods of time, producing something no-one ever had actually spoken that called itself Scots.
