Can You Speak Like a Dundonian? 

Here is a glossary of the Scottish Dundonian words you might come across while reading The Crescent and The End of the Crescent. In Dundonian, the vowels are more prounced than other Scottish dialects, perhaps because they often had to shout above noise of the jute mill factories. Use this glossary to speak just like the characters in the book and find your favourite words.
