    #meermittwoch #seawednesday Located at Aberdeen Harbour, a flagstone has been inscribed with a verse in Doric (Aberdeen and north east dialect of the Scot’s language): &amp;#39;Keepin the watch on a winter&amp;#39;s nicht, Heedin the rin o the sea. See the blinkin o trawler&amp;#39;s lichts Slinkin oot frae the Dee. The Fishin, Lewis Mackie. It has a lovely rhythm in the original Doric Scots. “Slinkin oot frae the Dee” very atmospheric. #aberdeen #aberdeenshire #scotland #northsea #nordsee
