Nae Mince in Moray goes viral

Nae Mince in Moray, the Doric rap that has featured as the Scots Language Centre’s youtube video selection over the past few weeks, has notched up thousands of new hits since it appeared on the SLC site.

The video – all about a Moray loon’s attempt to find some of his favourite food in local shops – has appeared on a number of other sites too. Moray Firth Radio, the Daily Record and others have posted links to the SLC and youtube.

SLC Director, Michael Hance, said he “wasn’t surprised about the video’s success”.

“People visiting our site or seeing the video on youtube recognise how well the ChielMeister uses his native dialect. They like his style and the way he expresses himself in his performance. The video shows that the North East dialect is alive and well and finding a place for itself in the youtube age.”
