Scots Dialects,
At a meeting of the Rymour Club held on Dec. 10. in the Outlook Tower, Edinburgh, Mr. John Ged- dio, hon, president, opened a dis- cussion on Seols dialects. He devoted his remarke entirely to the influence of Gaelic on the verna- cular of the Lowland Scots. The languages had become, he said, considerably intermingled. As the baker and the sweep in the old pantomimes came so much into con- tact with each other that it was impossible at the end, to say which was baker and which was sweep, so with many words it was an open question which language borrowed from the othar. Faking as the basin of his talk "A"Comparative Gaelic Scots Vocabulary," Mr. Geddie cited many examples of Coots words which hors vary alosa resemblances to Gaelic equivalents and pointed out that most of these represented overyday objects or occurrences such as natural features, weather, weights and measures, plants, etc., thus showing that it was through intercourse of the people that the intermingling of the tongues had taken place.
