What's the difference between a meggie-monyfeet and a
hornie-gollach? Between snap-an-rattle and murly-tuck? All is
explained in the Doric Dictionary. It is a two-way lexicon of words
and phrases drawn from the former Banffshire in the North through
Aberdeenshire to the Mearns and North Angus and drawn from the
published works of most the North-east's best-known writers of the
19th and 20th centuries. As the writer says in his foreword, 'There
is not one monolithic form of Doric but a multliplicity of forms;
and words can change not only from county to county but from
village to village'. The Dictionary contains no fewer than eight
variants of the term for a seagull. This new version( 2018) is
enhanced by a most stimulating injection of Buchan vocabulary drawn
from W. P. Milne's historical novel, Eppie Elrick.
