I am in the middle of writing a medieval romp and I need some Scottish-y exclaimtions. The only one I have come up with so far is "bluidy hell" Does any one out there have any jewels they would be willing to part with?
 
There's nary an animal alive that can outrun a greased Scotsman!

Get yer haggis, right here! Chopped hearts and lungs, boiled in a wee sheep's stomach! Tastes as good as it sounds. Good for what ails ye!

Don't feel bad for losin'. I was wrestling wolves back when you were at your mother's teat.

Ach! Back to the loch with ye, nessie!

I dinna cry when me own father was hung fr stealing a pig. But I'll cry now.

Aye, sir. You bath-taking, underpants-wearing lily-hugger....


If elected mayor, my first act will be to kill the whole lot of you and burn your town to cinders!

I said, 'Make way for Willie,' ye bloated gas-bag!

What!? Have ye gone waxy in yer beester!? I canna fit in the wee vent, ye croquet-playin' mint-muncher!

Bonjour, you cheese-eatin' surrender monkeys!

Not so fast, boyo. Well, if it was up to me, I'd let you go. But the lads have a temper, and they've been drinking all day!
 
To Groundskeeper Willie,
Hey this is great thank you. Especially helpful how you wrote it like it sounds!

There are several members of the BB who are actually scottish. The oaths above are more modern then you might be looking for if the setting is medieval. Alexander Tsara is one who might have some suggestions.
 
????????????????

Is it possible people missed the pop culture reference?




D'oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!



:D
 
*chuckles* How come like I feel I have turned over another page of the Outlander series and Jamie Fraser walked just by ???

Hey you guys I am getting it!
"This "clarty (dirty) midden" is away for "a wee donde" whilst her "tatties" (potatoes) cook and if she "guffs" along the the path. We will all say "Dinnae dae that!"
All got from the wonderful page marked by unregisted above! Wonder what A Guff is? Mmmm?
Thanks everybody,
Omni!

Glad you found the link useful. It looks like Lit' logged out on me while I was perusing Google.
A clart is a turd. Guff is empty talk, apparently from the Norwegian for a puff of wind.

I don't suppose knowing all the music and lyrics to "Brigadoon" would be of any help to you, would it?"

Aye laddie it just mite!-----Be too modern me thinks... Exclaimations are always hard, you do not want them saying "Christ!" all the time, but those hero's need masculine cuss words at thier disposal to use on thier vexing maiden's!
But you know I am going to look Brigadoon up, you never can tell?

Thanks for the help,
Omni.
 
Ahhh, Jamie Fraser....hae ye read Outlander, lass? If not, DO so.;))

Chrys.
