translation.

no that is not relevant to modern day scottish dialect, people how live in the mountains may from time to time speak in such ways  but not nowadays.

[Oldrottenhead]

in yonder field
there stood a coo
it must have shifted
cos its no there noo

translates as
in a distant far off field
stood a large bovine creature (a cow)
it must have moved away
because it isnt there anymore
