[WWI] Caproni Ca3 Walk Around

[Douglas Anderson]

Well, you are both right; it shows the prejudice of the English. Doric is the scottish Dialect of the Lowland Scots. This has spread to the North East, hence being found in the Fraserburgh area. It also is used to describe a very simplistic form of architecture. 
 
Originally the Athenians thought the Dorians inferior, backward. Hence the word has eneterd the English language as a synonym for rustic (euphamism). ie. backward, simple. The English used it to describe the language spoken in Northumbria and the lowlands of Scotland.

Good luck up there, mate.  Bit too parky for my taste!!  A near neighbour comes from Fraserburgh and tells me many locals speak Doric (sp?) as their first language.  I thought that was something to do with architecture...........?!
