Where are you guys from?
We're from Edinburgh in Scotland, but we grew up in a town called Ochtermachty.
I'm sorry, a town called_ Ochtermachty.
Ochtermachty.
Yeah.
What does it mean?
It means_
Hell of the boar.

Hell of the poor?
Boar.
Hell of the boar.
Wild boar.
Wild pig.
Oh, wild pig.
Yeah.
Are there wild pigs there?
No, there used to be about 300 years ago.
Yeah, because that'd be a perfect tourist attraction if you could get them back. _ _
And you know, you guys look like every member of our writing staff.
I know that means nothing to you, _ _ _ but_
What are your impressions of the United States?
Have you been here a long time?
We've been here about a month, and the impressions are very favorable.
I would guess you're getting great reactions to the record and your personal appearances and stuff, huh?
It's been very good.
It's better than what we expected, yes.
Are you going to tour the United States now?
Yeah, we've been on tour for about a month, and we're going to Australia and New Zealand for the next three weeks,
and then we're coming back to the States and Canada for about another six weeks.
You have a burr, don't you?
A burr, yeah.
A brogue.

I don't know.
Some Americans call it a burr.
Some of them call it a brogue.
I think it's_
Well, I could be wrong.
It could be a burr.
I think it's a burr.
Could be.
Is it?
What are we doing?
We're [Ab] out of time.
What does sunshine on leith mean?
Leith is [E] the port area of Edinburgh, and it's referred to by some of its inhabitants as sunny leith,
and that's why we said [N] sunshine on leith.
I don't know what that means, but thank you anyway. _ _ _

You sound terrific.
Nice meeting you.
Good luck.
Come back and see us the next time you're touring through this area.
Okay.
