  [The] Scots dialects of the Black Isle, a promontory to the north of Inverness, were largely confined to two villages, Cromarty and Avoch, which are not fully connected to the North- East Scots- speaking regions to the east of Inverness […] The Black Isle dialects (North Northern B) shared much with their Caithness equivalents. With one feature, however, they stood alone, not only in the North or even Scotland, but in the English-speaking world. […] the <wh> words were not replaced by /f/, as is the case with the other Northern dialects, but by nothing. The Scots equivalent to English what, which is fit or fat in the rest of the Scots-speaking North, was at in Cromarty and Avoch. […] a good case could be made for the last speaker of archetypically 'Black Isle Scots' dying in 2012.
