Doric is the dialect spoken in N.E Scotland . Today we hear many other dialects intertwined in our present day culture . We return to Finnyfaul to listen to Angus McCurrach, Huggadrum and George Emerson, Woodturner demonstrate the art of making Brose ! which was a simple meal of farm workers . Edwin Smith, Farmer speaks of the importance of the farming community. And a wee song from Alan Taylor, The Bothy Ballad King. The N.E of Scotland is renowned for its warm characters !

    Hello Jill, I am just delighted to hear the dialect being spoken, it makes me feel so happy. Doric is such a rich language with such expressive words that you don’t find in English. Hilda

    My Mum used to say when she was really tired that she was fare ferfaughen. Does anybody else use this phrase or is it something that is particular to the Moray coast?

    Hi Ethel, your mum was a delight to interview, her association with the fishing and her knitting is an inspiration. I have a back log of videos to edit, I beaver away as much as I can. I will get in touch when completed. Jill
