[@mammacarmela1951]

One of my favorite pastimes is to look through old pictures, so I really enjoyed these. What a strong accent...totally different from Irish or British English.

[@1234549084]

Hi Francsca the singer is Paul's wife Shona ,and the accent is from the north east of Scotland's which is called Doric. Drumdelgie was a large farm near Huntly and farmer was a very hard man
