I’m Australian but my father was an Ayrshire man, and I have many relatives who I have visited over the years. Without reading the sub titles, I understood everything he said. 😂
My ancestors were the Kennedys that inhabited Cassillis House in Ayrshire. My maiden name is Kennedy. I've always wondered what they may have sounded like, so thank you!
I'm fae Mauchline. I grew up speaking the modern version of scots which is a weird mix of slang, corrupted words, americanisms and normal english. I can understand proper Scots like this because my grandparents spoke it. Its sad to see this language tradition fade with the older generations. Same with the food!
My Great Grandparents were from from Ayrshire. Grandfather from Hereford, a WW1 hero, married a lass from Galford! I have a pocket watch given to him by Hereford after the War. He passed in 1959 so I never knew him. My DAD loved this man so much. He's 81 now., my DAD. My GreatGramdma Scotch as she was was a hoot! She really did not like my young American ass too much. I was supposed to be not heard!
As somebody who has lived in Ayrshire all his life, and was lucky enough to grow up knowing great grandparents and great great uncles etc, this is utter claptrap. Nobody spoke like Burns, or like Billy Kay is here. Some words were used, but nobody speaks strictly in Scots anymore and they haven't for decades.
Goodness I'm from Ayrshire, three toons, I thought that was a fake accent he was plying, different to here for sure but no doubt he's legit.. It's funny most words sound mispronounced, vowels expecially or corrupted.. But I like the Ayrshire dialect
Its all arse, when he grew up he spoke normally like a’ the rest o us. As a way of paying the mortgage its perfectly legal but its a’ crap I ken his cousin and even they laugh at him. Naebody in Muirkirk talks like him and thats usually sed to be the village most true to Burn’s tongue I guess he is an actor
It's watered down now but I'd say three quarters of Ayrshire, particularly in the farming areas, especially with the vowel sounds, this still runs strong.

For anyone who's interested, Billy's documentary "Mither Tongue" is available on the Irvine Valley History RUclips channel.

It sounds like you mean Hurlford and Galston. Both just outside of Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire.

Whit does he actually talk like this????
Only problem I have with it,is that it is called the Scots, this is literary cultural appropriation.
What do you call it? Lallans?
Why?
Hoo’s at?
No one speaks like this in ayrshire, very exaggerated.
I wonder if this is more along the lines of how Burns would have sounded
They dae
@@paulmcauley9949 it is a bit exaggerated tbh mate, maybe in the villages amongst the older lot it's a bit more accurate
