[edit] Name/proposal tae muve
The maist famous place A think "Kirkcaldy" appears in Scots leeteratur is in whit A aye cry the "queer-like smell" poem. Thare it's spelt Kirkcaddy that seems tae me tae be less o an ee-swickin name nor whit we hae the nou. Wad oniebodie object gin A muved this page tae Kirkcaddy? Mendor 13:10, 26 Dizember 2006 (UTC)

Juist checkit wi a couple o native Langtonians an thay pyntit oot that the queer-like smell poem wisna written bi a bodie frae Kirkcaudy; thay thairsels say Kirkcawdy in baith Scots and English. Mynd you if the author o thon poem can manage tae rhyme it wi "haddie" an "Daddy" than there maun be some sort o aa/aw alternation takkin place an the normal wey o handlin that word-medially is <au> sae aye, Kirkcaudy leuks a guid idea.
