sorry can't help, but do you know what i hinnae ony, fit like's your eens? means? anyone?!

From top to bottom.

Re the Scottish question appended, it means 'I haven't any...how are yours?'

de haut en bas is from the French, meaning high to low... rather than just top to bottom, it implies a sort of condescension: if you talk to someone de haut en bas, you're addressing them like an aristocrat talking to a servant, or maybe a teacher to a pupil.
Just what Rafarrin thinks, jno, when he talks about the people "d'en bas" and those "d'en haut" - it did nothing for his popularity except 'en haut' - and they say it's a classless society!
