I was the polar opposite to Scott".

These include many Old English words not found in other forms of Modern English, such as bairn for child (see Scots language and Northumbrian dialect). The other reason for the close cultural links is the clear pattern of net southward migration. There are more Scots in England than English people north of the border.

While Maggie makes a French salad and Paw finds a flag from each country, Hen asks if they know the man's name – Angus MacKay.

Another explanation for the name states that local miners in the northeast of England used Geordie safety lamps, designed by George Stephenson, known locally as "Geordie the engine-wright", in 1815 rather than the competing Davy lamps, designed about the same time by Humphry Davy and used in other mining communities. Using the chronological order of two John Trotter Brockett books, Geordie was given to North East pitmen; later he acknowledges that the pitmen also christened their Stephenson lamp Geordie. Linguist Katie Wales also dates the term earlier than does the current Oxford English Dictionary; she observes that Geordy (or Geordie) was a common name given to coal-mine pitmen in ballads and songs of the region, noting that such usage turns up as early as 1793. It occurs in the titles of two songs by songwriter Joe Wilson (1841–1875): "Geordy, Haud the Bairn" and "Keep your Feet Still, Geordie".

All included songs such as "Craigmillar Now", "When People Play Their Part", "Arled Bairn", "Candy Barrie" and "He Promised Me". Many local people who began performing in Community productions went on to become successful professional performers, Alice Henderson and Johnni Stanton, who went on to form their own companies, but most notably, Faye Milligan (The Steamie), and James (Micky) MacPherson, whose company Plum Films won a BAFTA award.

Thomas Faed, The Last of the Clan (1865) George Harvey's (1806–76) early work included minor genre paintings derived from Wilkie, before he followed him into historical art.D. Macmillan, Scottish Art 1460–1990 (Edinburgh: Mainstream, 1990), , pp. 186 and 192. Like Harvey, John Phillip (1817–67) began by creating sentimental Scottish rural images, among them Scottish Fair (1848), before his first trip to Spain led him into creating Spanish genre images such as Letter Writer of Seville (1853) and The Dying Contrabandista (1858). He produced single figure genre pictures such as The Spinning Wheel, but also large set-pieces, such as his most famous painting, La Gloria (1864), which shows a Spanish wake for a dead child.D. Macmillan, Scottish Art 1460–1990 (Edinburgh: Mainstream, 1990), , p. 214. A younger generation that took genre painting into the late nineteenth century included Erskine Nicol (1825–1904), the brothers John (1818–1902), Thomas Faed (1826–1900) and James Archer. Thomas Faed established his career with the interior cottage scene of The Mitherless Bairn (1855).
