Description
What's the difference between a meggie-monyfeet and a hornie-gollach? Between snap-an-rattle and murly-tuck? All is explained in the Doric Dictionary. This two-way lexicon of words and phrases used in Banffshire, Aberdeenshire, the Mearns and North Angus draws from the published works of the North-East's best-known writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. As the author says in his foreword, `There is not one monolithic form of Doric but a multliplicity of forms; and words can change not only from county to county but from village to village.'
