The phrase och aye the noo is hardly ever actually used as such in Scotland \u2013 but I remember my granny from Dundee used that and other sayings, such as lang may yer lum reek, it\u2019s a sair fecht, or it\u2019s a braw bricht moonlicht the nicht is it nicht\u2026so it\u2019s a very comforting phrase for me, as it reminds me of my childhood in Edinburgh.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Och aye can be heard quite a lot in Scotland, as it conveys something like: Well I suppose so, yes, you know. The noo is also fairly common and means: Now, at the moment.

As this whole CD project was very much a spur of the moment idea and I felt \u2018why not\u2019 about it, the name och aye the noo just seemed right \u2013 and Konstantin was happy with the sound of it, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you enjoy listening to these wonderful Scot\u2019s and Scottish songs that I found in books my granny left me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
