Curious that you use the same phraseology as in German when you say "in the near of Scotland" - totally identical in grammatical respects. Any idea why that is?

I heard it on ham radio probabbly from a DL station and I thought it was cool and very descriptive...

Are they still issuing class B licences? I lost touch with it all after all the G0s were used up and it all went totally stupid with the M series which made no sense to me. You mention a callsign issued about 30 years ago or less and I have NO IDEA whatsoever of expertise
- or lack thereof - of the holder. Not a fuciking clue! (I'm a G4 - or was one, to be more accurate, until I left the UK).

My Scottish relatives say, "That's me then," which means, I'm leaving the party/event/room/group.

Yes indeed, frequently in answer to the question, "Is that you?" Just another example of the many local dialect expressions in use throughout the UK, and which make life so interesting. Eg, "What are you for?" in a pub is not an invitation to bore people with your political, or other, views. It's just another way of saying "What would you like to drink?"
OTOH, in 70 years, I've never heard "in the near of Scotland", and I've lived in many parts of the country. Interesting!

Not in my experience. I?ve lived there for nearly 60 years, both in the north east and the southwest and have never heard this.

I think that one has its origins in Gaelic.

That's because it's never used anywhere. It's purely part of Jimbo's idiolect.
