I'm just a regular everyday Yank but I just got back from a cruise where we met a great couple from Scotland. I even learned a wee bit of the lingo, had a wee swallee or 2 and got bloutered.

Both sides of my family are from Scotland and my favorite beer is Bellhaven Ale. Need to get back there one of these years.
