1999“When I was younger my grandfather, who is sadly no longer with us, always said this to me. He had quite a good Scottish accent.

"People will say this phrase in proper English but it doesn’t mean as much to me as it did when my grandpa said it to me in Scots. I always remember it whenever anything’s going a wee bit wrong, or I’m not sure where I’m headed next.”

This is the excellent Emma Gray, a travel blogger whose own lovely Scottish accent can be heard in her audio commentary. Read about her travel adventures here.
