The Stottie
Copyright Irv Graham

Every Geordie has had a stottie but not everyone knows how they came about. So open yer lugs and I’ll tell you.
After their long march from the forgotten part of England young George and his followers were lost in the low lands of Scotland. Weak with hunger and burdened with doubt the people just wanted to lie down and die.
Young George in desperation for his people dropped to his knees, and prayed to his God for help.
The Lord listened, and found that goodness dwelt in the hearts of this bedraggled band. So waving his hand bread fell from heaven like snow. Which the people gave the name stottie, after the manner in which it boonced. Gathering them up they ate, and were filled with a feeling of wellbeing and great strength. Thus enabling them to carry on until they reached the place we know today as Geordieland. When they settled down each week they would bake a batch of stottie as a reminder of their deliverance from the wilderness, and that me geet fondy is the hokey.
