Re: Rebus and the scottish language
by Anonymous
The phrase 'The High Heid Yins' is also used by the hero, Alistair Mackinnon, in the new novel 'The Ancient Order of Moridura', to the amusement of his American and Spanish friends. He also uses the Scots word 'glaikit' to describe his friends' vacantly confused expressions on one occasion. I recall the delight with which my bosses in American industry in the 1960's greeted the evocative phrase, happy to be know as high Heid Yins.
