Translate:

loun: male youth, boy.

Now young man, for I see that you are a young male. I would prefer if you had trousers on before you sit down.

Can you just squat like, but not make contact, for the time being so as I can put on my bowler hat.

Now – you do not need to stay under my hat out of fear even if we do not know what you are.

As long as you want to be here and you are on a Scotsman or standing on Scottish soil you can call yourself Scots.

We’re very good that way.

But yet I’m not very keen on your bare bottom touching my head long-term, Scotsman or not.

So…
