Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

An A to Z of the Doric: an occasional series.

Doric, the dialect spoken in the North-East of Scotland is rich in words and phrases associated with the land and the sea. 

A pucklie o'selkies:  Some seals.

Or, if you prefer 

A boorach o'selches: A heap of seals.
