The cannie tip o'the crofter's cap

and the scent fae the bannocks baking'

 

I was wondering if you could translate zy?

 

Either way loved the sounds you had working in your poem and this flight to the 'Heathered hills 'n piper's whirls'. 

 

Pip :0)

The cannie tip o'the crofter's cap

Oh...you Sassenache...Pip! lol

 

The cautious touching of the crofter's cap in greeting (they always are of strangers)

and the 'gorgeous' smell 'from' scone type rolls baking in the oven (to die for, lol)

 

not directly from the Glossary of my Burns's book, lol, but enough to help, I hope, Pip, but it is one thing writing from memory, but never did have that sort of dialect, so this was fun to try, Zy
