Wir Ain Leid - The Pronunciation of Scots Dialects

We're at that point in the Thomas the Tank Engine: The Complete Collection where Douglas and Donald, the twin Scottish engines, enter the story, and all of their dialog is written in Scots. I shudna fash m'self, but I like to get the pronunciation right. You also need their Scots orthography guide and the page for the specific Scots dialect (links from this map), plus a pronunciation guide to IPA.

This collection of Scots words may come in handy too: "I'm fair forfochen."
