People who often use the word nae are often Doric & Scots speakers. You find people who speak doric in the North-East of Scotland, especially in Aberdeen. I myself use some Scots & Doric words when I am speaking to someone. Wolf & Babygael speak Scots so they can tell you all about it. Maby I should be speaking Scots or Doric myself since I often use some of the words.

Thank you! I am very interested. At least that way when I finally get to to a holiday there I won't seem like such a tourist. Laughing

One last thing. You can also go too the Gàidhlig section to find more about Scottish Gaelic & or go into the Recommended Sites section to get more websites on Scotland. Does this help?

Babygael, Correct me if I am wrong but nae probblem means no problem right?
I understood that part, I was just really really tired when I read it, too many late nights studying. Wink

I'm not through exams just yet I have two more to go. Over the summer I will have three more classes. I am trying to get through as quickly as possible. I waited too long to go back to school. Laughing

Its harder than I remember. But I have managed to keep up all my grades. Very Happy

On the breacan, I know that the site the Wolf listed there is a copy of it.

My maiden name is Watts, which from what I found traces to the Buchanan and Forbes clans. From what I read so far I think that Forbes branched off somehow from the Buchanans. But I am not certain of this just yet.

But thank you for the information Wolf! Hope that you don't have to knock me on the head too often. Laughing
