Stormy in Scotland, snow on the hills and it’s blowing a screever in Orkney! How’s the weather where you are? Orkney has probably my favourite dialect of Scots, cause it’s both familiar to me with loads of similar expressions, but also totally distinct with a great accent and loan words from Norse and elsewhere. Languages adapt to their environment so it’s no surprise that Orkney has a wealth of words for wind 💨 Who knew that Hoolie came from Orkney too?! | Alistair Heather

Learning the Lingo💛 I am a proud Orcadian and you’ll hear me use some of our dialect. When we speak to someone who is visiting our islands, other locals will sometimes say we are ‘chantin’ if we modify our speech to be more widely understood. I will ‘chant’ just enough that you will know what I am saying, but I will teach you some of the local lingo, too! It’s a great part of our culture here. #wedontspeakgaelichere #orcadian #dialect #emojis #learnthelingo #orkneyingatours #orkneytours #visito
