Roly, youv'e got me as daft as yourself. it is a cow. Bull horns are a lot shorter on a HEILAN  Bull or Highland Bull if you prefer, and they don't spread so far, the horns are more forward pointing.        

Rob Roy.

I swear Rob, if I ever am fortunate enough to meet you or some of these Brits I am going to bring a chalk board so I can ask you to spell out some words and prohibit you from phonetic spelling.

 

Doug if you think seeing what the Scotsman writes is bad, it's worse when they open their mouths.  You can't understand a word he says, believe me. It took me 9 weeks to work out what a Heilan Coo was.  :lol: :lol:

Aaaaaawww Marg, I'm disappointed. Not so long ago you were in Edinburgh, last year in fact, and you didn't pick up the local lingo. Mind you they're a bit posher up there than we are down here, in the wilds of Ayrshire. It looks like I'll have to upload a PHRASE BOOK for you and all my friends here on the forum, so cheerio the noo an' ah'll see ye's aw efter.

Okay, I checked and there are of a lot of books which could be useful.

The problem I have is that I never could understand as a kid why when I asked how to spell a word I was told to look it up in the dictionary.  How do you look up something you cannot spell.  Or, as Mr. Spock was fond of saying "That is illogical."

I totally agree Doug. I keep telling the wife the same thing when she's doing a crossword puzzle. If you don't know how to spell it how are you going to find it in the dictionary, but she manages to find it EVENTUALLY. I remember many years ago I asked my Grandmother how to spell Politician. The answer I got was, L. I.A.R.        . Oh, and bye just now and i'll see you all later,is the translation Doug.

You can spell politician many different ways but the main one is CROOK

Ok number one.  The nine weeks it took me to find out what a Heilan Coo was, was 20 years ago. 

Number two.  One of my best friends is from Ayrshire. Ardrossen in fact.

 

Number three.  On our last trip to Scotland we spent close to 3 weeks in a place called Neilston.  Which if I am not mistaken is not all that far from YOU. And only 4 days in Edinburgh.

Number four.  I already have a Scottish Dictionary

Ok now that is all cleared up, what do you have to say for yourself?????????????????????????????????

 

Marg :lol: :lol:

Correct Marg, Neilston is only about 25 minutes or so from me. The dialect there is more Glaswegian, sometimes they confuse me!!!.  The town is named after me which isn't difficult, (before you say it) Will explain later.

If I had known that you were only about 25 mins away I would have visited you and Marg.  Spent quite a few days inside because of the awful  weather.

And those were  GOOD DAYS Marg.   . By the way Ardrossan is about the same distance as Neilston, only in the opposite direction. I'm sure the TATTOO would make ammends for the dodgy weather. Take care Marg.

I checked and I see Scotland is 16,984 KM from you (10,553.368 miles) and Lincoln, Nebraska is only 14,807 KM (9,200.64 miles) from you.  If you are ever within 25 minutes of Lincoln, please give a call and drop by.

1500 miles to Danny's, 1500 miles to my house and we are two hours apart.  Does it all help at all if I tell you I grew up on a farm near Hastings, Iowa, USA?
