14/20

14/20 in the ultimate Scottish quiz which earned me a: Not bad, you ken your stuff but if you give it one more try you may just come out as clan chief.

Had I got a couple more I’d have got a: Congratulations! You really are a chieftain o’ the quizzin’ race.

Can I have a bonus for understanding what ken meant and recognising the misquotation in chieftain o’ the quizzin’ race.)

    John Peel and all that.

    It’s interesting that this exact verb remains in modern German, as in

    Ich kenne John Peel

    And Scots Kirk is virtually the same as German Kirche
    :-)
