Quote:It was a traditional dialect used for centuries by fisherfolk. But yesterday it emerged that the language of Cromarty had finally died with the passing of its last speaker. Bobby Hogg was the only person still fluent in the age-old tongue of the Black Isle and his death at the age of 92 means it will now exist only in audio recordings.
