At a press conference for Brave, which is to receive its international premiere in Edinburgh this month, its Scottish stars Kelly Macdonald, who plays the lead character Merida, and Kevin McKidd, who plays Lord MacGuffin and Young MacGuffin, said they had inserted words and phrases such as "manky", "gammy", "numpty", "hurdies", "quine" and even "Jings, crivvens, help ma boab" to make sure the spectacular film felt "right" to Scottish audiences.
