Re: Scottish terminology

Dave,

Thanks for explaining about the United Kingdom and Great Britain. It helps to know how everything fits together.

I thought that all of Ireland was part of the UK and never understood why it was often mentioned separately, but now I know.

This thread is wonderful. On the new forum, we will need a questions thread like this one. This one isn't really just about Scottish terminology anymore.

I just finished Lynsay's "The Chase" and the meal Seonaid asked for was Colcannon, Black Bun, and Haggis. It was nice to know what those were when I was reading. The book was fantastic...but I knew it would be!

Re: Scottish terminology

Sorry guys one more question - how much does a "stone" equate in pounds?

Re: Scottish terminology

A "stone" = 14 pounds.

Re: Scottish terminology

What is a skoda? Is it a type of car? I have never even heard of it before? (watching TOP GEAR and they mentioned it on the show but didn't elaborate)
