Yes, there are parts of Scotland where the question, "Where do you bide?" will be asked.

I have an app for students, Scots ABC. It has a random word generator, from which I just learned the word “oorie.”

Turns out "auk and style" doesn't exist as a saying at all, I'd heard "dressed in auk and style" but maybe it was really "dressing up in style" or something. I do know of one song where I'd misheard the latter for the former, but I'm sure my hearing predates it.
Unless, y'know, you know?
