Gus,
I'm orginally from down Glasgow way, so I struggle a bit too. However, I can tell you that ...
Neeps are Turnips (Yuck!)
Stovies is a mixture of mince and potatoes, amongst an array of vegetables and other ingredients that don't bare thinking about (I heard of an old women who insisted on putting a large helping of strawberry jam into her particular concoction (think she may have been losing her marbles at the time).
Tammies are flat caps (hats) generally worn by OAP's on a brau bricht nicht!!
Cardies (see Tammies)
Irn Bru is Scotland's other national drink apparently (a stomach burning mixture of chemicals promoted as a soft drink).
Do you get it now?
