Real English from Scotland

Scottish English

Hear how people from Scotland talk and the words they use every day.

Scottish English changes a lot from place to place. Some people talk in a soft way, close to standard English. In cities like Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen, and in the Highlands, people talk in a stronger way. About 5 million people speak it in Scotland. It has some sounds and words that other kinds of English do not have. Scottish English also uses special words like wee (small), ken (know), and bairn (baby). A strong way of talking can be hard to follow, and people often talk fast. Start with the easier, clearer way first. Then try the stronger ways later.
