The speech of the North-east is one of the best preserved in Scotland, and still flexible enough to adapt to modern times. New ways of looking at the world come in, and words of earlier days, sayings and ways of speaking inevitably fall by the wayside. If we can keep a record of what is passing, we will still be able to sense the flavour and atmosphere of the days of our fathers and grandfathers. It is the aim of this book to do just that. It is a blend of English and the Buchan dialect, and it contains a very full word list. |
