heheh, strangely enough I've only watched it once. I liked the narrator 
and some of the actors are Scottish.
I watched it before I moved to Scotland though, so I don't know if I'd know real Scottish from fake Scottish
I want to get hold of some Scottish movies (ie Angels share and Whisky galore) , just need some money first.
PS: If you want to see a really weird, but really good Scottish movie, check out "The elephants graveyard" on youtube.

I'm bad with accents. I can't watch Dr. Who or Bend It Like Beckham because I only understand every third word. (And, sure, closed captions, but if I'm reading, I'm not watching too.) What's frustrating is everyone who knows my taste in TV shows keeps telling me I'd be a Whovian!
I did watch a Scottish soap about some guy -- the equivalent of a landlord to serfs thing but in modern times -- in a "manor," which was really a small castle, complete with 16 generations of portraits of his ancestors lining the walls. The show was pretty equal to American soaps, (a yawner), except... in SCOTLAND, where they have these really cool houses -- big and small -- on huge fields of heather and people go to the river to catch salmon for tonight's dinner or go shoot some quail if they rather have meat. And the bouquet for the centerpiece can be picked on the way home, if the game isn't too heavy. My kind of living, and I much rather have one of those manageable-sized homes than the big old castle with the poor guy who has to play bagpipes or the father can't eat his dinner.
And that's an American explaining a Scottish TV show.
Oh, and if anyone knows that series, I'd like to see it again, but the only word in the title I remember is "glen." American! We may have glens in America, but we don't call them that, so I have no idea what a glen is yet. (I've got Irish in my background, so, of course I know Oh Danny Boy. I just can't remember what a glen is. lol) Was that the mountain or the valley?

Ah, man! Justin left again. I was just wondering if he ever expected his interesting post to go in all these fun directions.
(Not to worry. Justin, I know you'll be back. You get mad at all the hostility, but keep forgetting there are things like this thread to keep us coming back. It IS a frustrating site, but we can choose what we read. And notice, I said that as a Calvinist. lol)

Try this quiz of Scottish slang terms.
I managed to get 7 but it was more luck than knowledge.

I am good at guessing....
I only knew three or four for sure, but I got 11 correct
Depelted: Most the people I met spoke Scottish yes. It took me a week or two to understand even simple sentences
as for the quail: I don't know if there are rules restricting hunting them, but some places there are so many pheasants that I suspect you could just slow down the car, stick your arm out the window and grab one

Yeah, but valley is too vague.
It's like what is that moving water? A river? A stream? A brook? A creek? A crik? (In South Jersey the difference between a creek and a crik is a creek guarantees one foot will get wet crossing it. A good jump covers the crik. In real life, a crik is the same as creek, but as kids we made the distinction. It had everything to do with how mad was Mom going to get if we got our shoe wet and muddy. lol)
Is a divot in a lawn a glen? Is the bottom of small hills a glen? Or are mountains involved? And then, does it have to have something higher on all sides? AKA is a beach at the bottom of sand dunes a glen? Oh, and is a meadow a glen?
(Do I overthink? Sorry 'bout that, but if I don't know I can't picture it in my mind.)
