just want to say hello

[Tuechter]

Hi Susanne

Tha mi Donnachaidh is Gaelic for "My name is Duncan", pronounciation would be something like:- "Haa mee don-achy" I hope that is not too confusing. If I can help in any other way e.g. stories, legends, lies? jJust let me know and the others on this site would help too, I bet.

Hi Susanne

Èrin, Grà mo Chroi is Irish Gaelic and it means "Ireland, hearts' love". This can't be much help with your English though - and it's probably better than mine!

Hi everyone! I'm not from scotland but I am very Scottish my family is from loch lomond. Just want to give out a hello to everyone!

Hi Susanne!
The Doric tongue is spoken mostly in and around Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire,whilst Lallans is mostly spoken in the Central/Borders areas of Scotland.Both Doric and Lallans also come with a blend of English too,just so that it gets even more confusing! Sae ye dinnae ken whit wur spakin aboot wi thon leids!
See what I mean!
Ahm awa fir a wee bit scran!
