We arrived yesterday to stay for 2 weeks, if you see us with our Irish Wolfhounds, feel free to come say hello 😁. We are right at the top and can see the lighthouse in the distance, only of a night though lol. It will be a fun 2 weeks of exploring for sure 💯

This is probably a stupid question, but why is it so dreary and windy there?

@IamCarlaC92 Жыл бұрын

Scotland is the windiest country in Europe due to eastward moving Atlantic depressions that bring strong winds and clouds continuously throughout the year.

was it just me or.. ? i expected a REALLY STRONG Scottish accent. but there was barely one at all. hmm. 🤨 not sure why i've always assumed the more northern (and/or west) you go, the stronger the accent. side note: shame about the weather up there. otherwise, looks so uncrowded, unspoilt and underrated. #jealous

Everyone thinks the Glasgow accent is everywhere in Scotland but it gets softer and softer as you go north until it sounds Norwegian in Shetland.

She doesn't really have an Orcadian accent in this video. If you want to hear an example, have a look at this video which explains some of the words in Orkney dialect... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9OindR83ajaiX0.html&ab_channel=ScotsLanguageCentre

@@hannahtaitx oh wow! i had no idea. 🤯 wasn't aware there were actually words specific to Orkney. the way other general words are spoken were more as I'd imagined them though. thanks for pointing this out. definitely something new i've learned today.
