It is a natural pale yellow in colour. When cut it has a smooth close surface which feels moist to the touch. It is cylindrical in shape and has a hard thin golden rind with a very slight mottling. In its early stages Traditional Ayrshire Dunlop has a very mild nutty flavour and smooth close texture. As it ages, subtle, nutty, creamy flavours develop and the texture becomes smooth and slightly springy. The shorter the period of maturation the milder the cheese – as the cheese ages stronger flavours develop.

  • Broadly Speaking : Scots Language and British Imperialism
    BROADLY SPEAKING: SCOTS LANGUAGE AND BRITISH IMPERIALISM Sean Murphy A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 2017 Full metadata for this item is available in St Andrews Research Repository at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/11047 This item is protected by original copyright Sean Murphy, ‘Broadly Speaking. Scots language and British imperialism.’ Abstract This thesis offers a three-pronged perspective on the historical interconnections between Lowland Scots language(s) and British imperialism. Through analyses of the manifestation of Scots linguistic varieties outwith Scotland during the nineteenth century, alongside Scottish concerns for maintaining the socio-linguistic “propriety” and literary “standards” of “English,” this discussion argues that certain elements within Lowland language were employed in projecting a sentimental-yet celebratory conception of Scottish imperial prestige. Part I directly engages with nineteenth-century “diasporic” articulations of Lowland Scots forms, focusing on a triumphal, ceremonial vocalisation of Scottish shibboleths, termed “verbal tartanry.” Much like physical emblems of nineteenth-century Scottish iconography, it is suggested that a verbal tartanry served to accentuate Scots distinction within a broader British framework, tied to a wider imperial superiorism. Parts II and III look to the origins of this verbal tartanry. Part II turns back to mid eighteenth-century Scottish linguistic concerns, suggesting the emergence of a proto-typical verbal tartanry through earlier anxieties to ascertain “correct” English “standards,” and the parallel drive to perceive, prohibit, and prescribe Scottish linguistic usage. It is argued that later eighteenth-century Scottish philological priorities for the roots and “purity” of Lowland Scots forms – linked to “ancient” literature and “racially”-loaded origin myths – led to an encouraged “uncovering” of hallowed linguistic traits.
