That's what I meant. Based on what I seen in T2 I'm not rushing up there.
My English teacher was Scottish and we were made to read Macbeth continuously I stared to get nightmares.

That rather depends which bit of Scotland you're talking about.
Not everything in the movies can be taken as representative of reality - I mean, take van Dyke's accent in Mary Poppins....

Scots are seriously friendly and love talking to the English - just to tell us how sweet we are but we have a sheet accent!
Glasgow is still a wee bit rough in Barrowlands where this is all based and other gang films based on true stories. Many of the SAS are actually Scots! Edinburgh is very cosmo but quaint in old history. There are great spots for the outdoor hill climbing types up there. Many biting midges in Summer on the coastal spots and islands.

Aye, a ken fit ye mean.
What does it say? I can probably help you with that.
Films aren't always accurate representations of life.

Read it out loud in Sauchiehall Street and see what happens
.... or in Milngavie - there may be a fainting....
Buaidh No Bas
From what I understand it means Conquer or Die and is pronounced something like Boo-way No Bus
My Grandmother had it on a framed Heraldry needlepoint piece in her house.

Oh I thought it was going to be something deeply philosophical.
"Gonnae chibya guid yabbas" for "Hail friend, and welcome!"
"Gonnae chibya guid yabbas" for "Hail friend, and welcome!"
It's a clan motto, meaning "victory or death". Pronunciation is more like boo-uh-ee no bas.
ETA ninja'd with the meaning. That's not what the words mean individually, but the entire phrase has that meaning and is used by a few clans I think.
