      Not a scot but this one works pretty well for translation i would say:

      "Why do folks ask babies stupid shit like “You’re getting big aren’t you?” as if the little shits gonna be like “yes moira, you’re spot on i’m on a protein regimen”.

      This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here.

      What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

      The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

      Makes perfect sense to me…

      English translation breast-shaped mountain

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lochnagar

      English translation Hill of the breast

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennachie

      The Pap is so named because its shape resembles that of a human breast.[3][4]

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiden_Pap,_Caithness

      A kelpie, or water kelpie (Scottish Gaelic: each-uisge), is a mythical shape-shifting spirit inhabiting lochs in Scottish folklore.

      Legends of these shape-shifting water-horses,

    It’s pretty simple really. Those are the two poles of the Earth and an “artist’s” rendition of what penguins look like based on sixth degree of separation telephone story-esque description loosely based on what someone who’d last seen such a creature a year+ before for the first and last time. And Mel Gibson.
