sgat
-ait, -an, sf Skate (fish). [sm **] Tha a' mheòir an déidh na sgait, his fingers are after the skate — said of a bad piper. The saying originated with a young piper, who was being instructed at the piper's college at Horeraig in Skye. Having had skate to dinner one day, which he did not approve of and playing afterwards indifferently, he was asked what was wrong with him. “The skate sticks to my fingers,” was his reply. Ma cheannaicheas tu iasg ceannaich iasg sgait, if you buy fish, buy skate. The Highland prejudices against certain meat and fish are sometimes very absurd. The skate is most unjustly undervalued by the natives of the western coasts of Scotland — NGP.
