Although I've not been up to Aberdeen, I hear the Doric is crazy up there!
Why do you say Doric is crazy? Do you mean that it's hard to understand or what?
Also, which dialect/dialects are the farthest from English? For example, this Doric recording (the one titled "European Scots), I could only understand about 10 words, but I could understand quite a bit more of the text of it.

Swedish and Norwegian are the same language according to linguists, it's just that the written and spoken standards differ.
