Oor Wullie?

[The Ace]

They're comic characters from, 'The Sunday post,' ( a newspaper read by c85% of the Scottish population) . Every year an album is published, 'Oor Wullie,' a cheeky child known for his dungarees, tackety (hobnailed) boots and his habit of sitting on an upturned bucket. Or, 'The Broons,' a large, chaotic but very close-knit family living, 'Three stairs up at 10 Glebe Street.' Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee all claim Glebe Street as their own, but read aloud they definitely sound dundonian.

Oor Wullie sounds a bit like our Ginger Meggs.

LOL we have a Glebe street here, well in sydney really, not far from where my grandparents live. But looking at the site for them it looks like how the guy on how to speak dundonian writes how you speak dundonian.

I like reading the 44 scotland street series, though that is definitely set in Edinburgh.
