Fair Isle Jumpers With Kilts?

[Dale Seago]

Thanks for pointing that out Dale. It seems my eye might not have been so wrong. I've never owned owned one but I am a sweater fellow. I think I'll have to keep an eye out for one.

A bit more, regarding language and culture: The Gael never had any impact whatsoever on Shetland:

Scottish (Lowland Scots English) words and phrases started to infiltrate Norn well before Shetland became part of Scotland in 1469, but Norn remained in use for a long times afterwards. It is thought likely that, with the exception of the remoter islands, Shetlanders were bilingual by 1600 and that Scots English was universally used by 1700, Norn dying out altogether as a language in the 18th century. However, it is little wonder that the sound of Shetlanders speaking Shaetlan is, to the outsider, remarkably similar to the sound of Norwegians speaking English.
