Highland English

Highland English is the variety of Scottish English spoken by many in Gaelic-speaking areas and the Hebrides. It is more strongly influenced by Gaelic than are other forms of Scottish English.

Phonology

The epenthesis, which is used in some consonant combinations in Gaelic and Scots, is sometimes used in the Hebrides and so "film" may be pronounced "fillum".

Vocabulary

Up south and down north, as opposed to the usual English up north and down south, are used in parts of the Highlands and Islands, most notably in Uist. It is likely derived from Gaelic usage, attested in the Wester Ross dialect.
