#meermittwoch #seawednesday Located at Aberdeen Harbour, a flagstone has been inscribed with a verse in Doric (Aberdeen and north east dialect of the Scot’s language):

'Keepin the watch on a winter's nicht,
Heedin the rin o the sea.
See the blinkin o trawler's lichts
Slinkin oot frae the Dee.
The Fishin, Lewis Mackie.

It has a lovely rhythm in the original Doric Scots. “Slinkin oot frae the Dee” very atmospheric.
