Mike @2M0WNA is far too modest to post this himself.

Doric is a form of the old Scots language, still widely spoken in the north east of Scotland in rural communities and fishing towns. Doric dialect (Scotland) - Wikipedia

The Doric culture is resurgent and now has an annual film festival. Mike and his helpers made a short 5 minute film about the Aberdeen Amateur Radio Society and entered it. It is beautifully produced and is narrated in Doric.

Well, it only went and won Best Film at the festival! Here it is.

Really excellent film, well done to Mike and the Aberdeen club.

I have no problem understanding Doric, my late mother was from Crimond and still have family up there. Fred is not broad Doric, if it was my Aunt Vera or late grandparents narrating nobody would understand! My 18 year old son & wife struggle to understand Aunt Vera, we only live 100 miles away!

Really excellent,

I lived near Peterhead for 10 years and drove past Crimond every day on my way to work in Fraserburgh. It was amazing the difference in dialect in the 16 miles between the two fishin toons.

By the way, legend has it that Elvis Presley’s granny is fae Lonmay.

The Tesco Chief Executive once asked me that very thing at a conference, in front of a room full of people.

Oh, how we laughed :rofl:

A lot of people have said that, which has surprised me. VK,VE, ZL and USA folk all seem to get it too. Maybe it is in their DNA? :wink:
