I've heard that Scottish children sometimes call their fathers, Daugh. Is this true or what terms of endearment do they call their fathers?

I think Da, Dad & Daddy are the most common, while some people use Pa or Faither. I've heard others, but not very often.

You certainly are persistent with this question!
