A SCOTTISH app developer has taken a novel approach to his debut release by creating a game featuring much-loved Glasgow patter.

Callum Morrison, originally from Aberdeen, opted to include well-known Scottish terminology in his app, Cubefall, as he felt Scotland has little representation digitally.

The Glaswegian 'translations' are tongue in cheek with references to the weans, cerry-oots and calling the player, pal.

The game has also been translated in Gaelic, with the help of Callum's Gaelic-fluent friend, Steven Kellow, and also features Doric words.

The designer said: "I've played hundreds of apps and games, but none have spoken to me in Scots, let alone, Doric, Gaelic or with a Glaswegian twang.

"Cubefall is quite a simple game where you pop cubes as they fall, kind of like a reverse Tetris.

"I don’t live in Glasgow, but two of my siblings do, and I’ve got Glaswegian pals and they were more than happy to help me out with translations from regular English to Glasgow patter.

"Hopefully it will give people a laugh."

The 24-year-old hopes this will show budding young Scottish developers that apps can be created to cater to local audiences, whilst having mass appeal.

Others from the tech industry in Scotland have welcomed moves to include more "Scottish flair" to apps. 

Michael Hayes, founder and owner of RookieOven, a tech co-working space in Glasgow, said: "Finally, Glaswegians can kill 10 minutes on the Clockwork Orange using an app in their very own dialect.

"It’s gallus wee touches like this that can make an app stand out and it’s cool to see companies from Scotland’s growing tech sector making an app that targets locals."
