Greetings to all Wigtownshire language specialists, I was doing a wee bit of piping at a church fete today and a Scot (ex Glasgow region) who heard me reported to his (Scottish) wife when he got home, "David is playing his pipes down at the church fete and he's doing it laldy (or laldie)". Is this expression still around in Scotland? ... David Murray, Perth, Western Australia

Certainly round about Dumfries although we are more likely to say "giving it Laldy" Best wishes Ian A McClumpha Need help with your Scottish Family History research? Let Imchad Ancestry assist you.

Hi "Gi'ein' it laldy" as they said in Glasgow before I left for Australia nearly 50 years ago. I think it can be interpreted as "giving it your all". Be interested to hear other meanings.
