He’s got a fisherman’s eyes.

David Murison and Sandy Fenton were proud exponents of our Buchan Tongue and were the leading academics in our language.

David Murison and Sandy Fenton did not like the use of the ancient Greek Word, DORIC, used by the Ettric Shepherd to describe the North-East accent of Scots he did not like. Therefore, a slur on the Buchan Tongue while hearing on visits to his daughter Mary who lived at Braco Park farm at Rosehearty. David and Sandy described the Northern accent as the BUCHAN TONGUE or NORTHEAST SCOTS!

I love to see the pictures and videos of Rosehearty. Spent many happy times there in the 70s, living with my aunty,uncle, and cousin. Great times indeed

As a Buchan loon retired in Asia thanks for posting this. Despite being awa' for mony a year I still could understand every word.

I have lived here for thirty nine years and I understand Peterhead spic and Broch spic but the joy of these dialects is being worn as a badge of exclusion to incomers. This condemns the wonderful folk of the North East to isolation. The Dorich is great but get wise , learn to communicate and spell.

Tht geezer in the car is my long lost uncle sandy my granfathers brother ive loved seeing this ive allays wantened to see him never mind hear him😢

as a Scot, (i have a weird mixed accent, like Glaswegian and Strathclyde-ish mixed) I could barely understand a woman on the news from peterhead 😭 I didnt think she was even scottish

my great-uncle. He was definitely one of a kind.

I was born in Aberdeen but had relatives in Peterhead (probably still have) but I live in the states now. I understood the accent just fine. Mind I used to live between Turriff and Banff out in the middle of nowhere at Fisherie so I heard all those accents as a kid.

Ive Stephens and Buchans in my side. Affa lot o them in the area

My Granda Buchan was a sawyer sailing fae Aberdeen. His father moved fae 2b High Street, Buchanhaven, in 1917. He married a Stephen fae 2b High Street Buchanhaven Far the Heritage Centre is noo.

Fit a different stuff the older folk are made o. I noticed that in St Combs. Love this, a great bit o social history.

My Dad was a Chief sailing fae Aberdeen. He worked the factory ships and trawlers. His last trip was 1975. And i found out while staying in St Combs that my Buchan side come fae Inverallocy!

Jim’s spikin English, nae dorich.

great to hear the Doric

why cant they speak english?

11:26 Ma heed!! I mine her. Mrs/Mis Murray Fae Peterhead Academy.

My Granny was Josephine (Joy) Wiseman Noble. I remember being told she was related to Wiseman’s who gid up to Sheetlen. She married Sandy MacPherson. (Alexander Crawford MacPherson)

25:29 In NE Scots the past tense of the English word 'Laughed' is 'Luch' (u as in the up, ch is a mack of the throat guttural sound) The present tense in Buchan Scots is 'Lach' (again ch is back of the throat)

14:08 'Mam widda garrt ma rise' Typical NE Buchan language. 'Mother would have gotten me up'

What is a "Sna Plew"

I wiz telt i piano ended up in Guthries the slaters yard.

Well done Bob! You have a passion for music and local history.

The other day Aberdeenshire Council sent its engineer down to inspect this SEAWALL and reported back it was fine! How on earth can a crumbling seawall be fine. They have developed an attitude built on the FALSE INFORMATION THAT IT IS THE NORTHWEST STORMS, INSTEAD OF THE NORTHEAST GALES THAT POUND THIS TOWN. THEREFORE, THEY STILL CLING TO A FALSHOOD WITHOUT PROPER EVIDENCE!

ABERDEENSHIRE COUNCILS HORRENDOUS FAILURE!

Was this an orange walk

Thats a Doric accent!

Brilliant video. I feel my uncle n dad would relate to this so well as they have a thrashing mill. Although no aberdeen were nae far awa. Angus/taside area. ❤

The terrible neglect of this seawall by the executive is another disgraceful act by those in power, very similar to the executive of the Post Office, who do nothing until something catastrophic happens and then they start blaming each other. It is either total ignorance or total greed spending cash where they want it or rather than where it is necessary!

I have included Joe Mitchell's picture as he was an excellent councilor who did the job he was elected for. Today many of them are there for the excellent wage and little more. Joe did a great job in pushing through this work although it was not his remit to do so. He was a District Councilor, while it was the duty of the Regional Councilor to press this through, but unfortunately, he was too relaxed about it. Therefore JOE was triumphant for the community.

A long time since the yoles were in the Balaclava basin

Used to loove speaking to Jock, he was on the Mulberry harbours during D Day, an afa nice mannie

Was this Polly who was married to Dennis Beedie

Thank you so much for uploading this footage. I've had an interest in travelling fairs ever since I was a young child!

Dunno how I stumbled upon this, what an excellent historical record! Reminds me of a booklet about dialect I got during my first trips to Scotland in the early 1980s, which stated that Aberdonians are sometimes nicknamed 'The Furry Boots' by other Scots because asking visitors where they're from comes out as "furry boots ya fae?"😉

2.222 pence for every stone thats a lot of revinue for the gov and yet they have done nata for the industry exept push everyone out the game and its all gone now no more charactors like sandy now its all lost forever exept for european fleets to come fill their boats with our fish

Is Willie Hay still on the go?

I came across David Buchan, when following his course in Folk-life Studies at Stirling University in either !979 or !980. David Whitton, then of The Clydesiders, joined me as we had a shared love of music and the Oral Tradition. We had fun and enjoyed the Craic you might say. What a pity David was taken so young ; It is moving to hear his gentle resonant voice.

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview…

Uncle Stanley.

We used to call it the GUT FACTORY and the stench was horrible round the vicinity, my mother used to run out and bring her washing in as it affected the clothes.

Een o my favourite writers. That's the ferst time I've ivver heard him spikk. Could've deen wi a newsie wi him James.

Please could someone tell me what they’re singing at the beginning and the end of this video?

I spent a year working on the bodum to frazerborough pipeline in 1991, it ran around Peterhead, although it was 30+ years ago you never forget that accent and I can understand everything she says. I'm from Dorset and it took me a month to work it out back then. The lady in this video is the spit of my land lady Mary back then when I stayed in a flat over the union bar public house on union St on the docks. Great times.

Interesting video Joe 👍 still lookin gud , all the best from the rascals on Skye 🤙

Fascinating piece of film. Thank you.
