Rossy Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I could see Alec in The Arctic Bar. He's got to be an Arab . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I must live in a parallel universe of Dundee, genuinely never meet people like them. In the last week, I've been asked where I'm from, apparently I don't sound Dundonian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) I never grew up in Dundee but spent a lot of time there playing music, football and socialising, but grew up outside it, and been told I sound like a Dundonian and a few times like 'Christian Dailly'. I never warmed to the accent, but now I'm a bit older, I really like it - Alife in the video - although real orray-borray isn't great to listen to. It's probably the same in other parts, but I find it amazing you can basically go 5 miles north of Carnoustie and the accent changes in to almost pardon my French 'teuchter' or Doric sounding.

Dundee fowk need a translator when they go for a day oot in Farfar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 The Dundee accent is totally unique in Scotland. If you take all other accents from Glaswegian to Aberdonian then you usually find they are heard in the greater region. Whereas, Dundonian is almost always confined to the city itself. I actually admire that about Dundee. It's great culture-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
