Does anybody know which version of Scots is being used in Asterix and the Pechts?

When I was in Glasgow in September, I had a burger at Burger Meats Bun, a place that opened just a short while before. Being used to Belgian chips, I wasn’t impressed by the Thai Chili Cheese chips: way too soggy for my taste. But the burger was great! In fact, it was the best burger I ever had, to this date.
Apparently I’m not the only one who thinks so: this week the readers of the Scottish burger blog James vs. Burger elected BMB as the place where one can find Glasgow’s Best Burger.
I hope they will still have some room for me during my next visit to Glasgow…

Can you spot my clan, the MacLarens? 🙂
Old Stag Inn, 12 Greenview Street, Glasgow,
Located in what is known as The Stag Building (Architect Thomas Baird 1862 – 1953), The Old Stag pub was first listed in the Glasgow Post Office Directory of 1889-90.
The licencee at this time was Mr John Lyns, who took over the license from D McCafferty between 1886 and 1888.
The Stag Building was erected in 1905 by John Lyons to include housing and shops. Original shops were Carmichaels Chemist and Dougie’s Dairy.

Where I met my first Glaswegian friends! 🙂
The clip of “The Kilt Song” I posted a while ago, turned out to be quite popular. I ended up buying the album the song came from: Aly Macrae – popstardombeckons and quite like it. Some very funny songs with recognisable stories, others just very nice to listen to. I’d say, have a listen and buy it if you like it too!
Available on iTunes as well.
