i agree that there are diffrences regarding how folk about scotland say it sadly i dont consider myself a highlander or lowlander with being in the central belt,
i just merely wanted sharpdressedscot to hear a non singing version of how someone like myself would say lochaber rather than read the varations i just thought it best to let him hear a talking version ,
when thinking of folk from scotland i dont think of them as highlander and lowlanders i think of them as more regional for example cessna152towser in my view is a border man while phil is a lothian man i just happen to be someone in the central belt ,
the days of highlander/lowlander are some what stuck in the past with all the regions of scotland being so intermixed in this day and age
