laird387 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hi, Sad to say I am, as far as Scotland is concerned, one of those funny forriners (a Tyke from Yorkshire 'tha knows) and although I have written and published books about the SSDT as well as published books written by others, such as John Moffat, about Scotland and the SSDT I keep seeing the Edinburgh motto 'Haud Forrit' without having a clue what it actually means........ So please could some helpful Scot tell this dumb tyke just what the motto means???????? Cheers Deryk Wylde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuthescot Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I've always believed it means Go Forward. Haud can have different meanings - the main one is hold but is also used to say go. Forrit is forward. I'll confirm with Dad who was part of the SSDT committee but others may be on to confirm one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuthescot Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi Deryk, I spoke with my Dad, Norman, today about the motto and he confirmed that the meaning of it was Go Forward as I had thought. Hope this helps. Regards Stuart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
