"Yowe trummle" - the cold weather which comes after the sheep shearing.

As in

Ae weet forenicht i' the yowe trummle

A watergaw wi' it's chitterin' licht
Ayont the on ding

Aye it's that man again PA....

Never heard of a gowan before, except "Gowan, malky him quick or he'll malky you"  .

There's nocht sae sober as a man blin drunk.

A gowan is a daisy or other wild flower.

Pearly Invicta

It can also be an arrogant, boring person. As in, "I was fishing the Tummel yestreen and I heard that Ally Gowan boring the arse of 2 American tourists who were paying ?500 a day to learn about how he personally invented fly fishing"

Wildfisher

A bit unfair David. Everyone knows it was Stan Headley who invented fly fishing as we know it today.

Pearly Invicta

Naw naw. He only wrote the bible. Ally was the creator.

I thought chib and gutties were west coast whereas cundy is east. There is a Dundee band called the Cundeez (rabid arabs that they are too :D)

A wise decision to leave. I went to skool in Hamilton and now I work there. I hate the place with a vengeance :shock:
