'Scotland! a queer country that, your honour!' 'So it is,' said I; 'a queerer country I never saw in all my life.' 'And a queer set of people, your honour.' 'So they are,'said I; 'a queerer set of people than the Scotch you would scarcely see in a summer's day.'

-Borrow, George Henry
  Wild Wales, ch.83.

Never mind my grace, lassie; just speak out a plain tale, and show you have a Scotch tongue in your head.
