Hey @karen68 I lived in Fraserburgh on the north coast for a time and they have their own lingo(Doric).Took me a while to get used to phrases like:

Fitlike ma loon (How are you young man) Obvs that was quite a way back.

Ging awa n spear Dan (go and ask Daniel)

Ma quiney’s a sair een (My daughter has a sore eye)

There used to be a documentary called Trawlermen which featured a crew of fishermen from amongst other places Fraserburgh and it had subtitles for Scottish viewers.So your confusion is entirely understandable.
