0:00:01 > 0:00:06Well, I suppose my favourite Scots word would be "jiggered".
0:00:06 > 0:00:09How you spell it is another matter because I'm dyslexic
0:00:09 > 0:00:12but I think it's, I think it's J...
0:00:12 > 0:00:17I...G...G...
0:00:17 > 0:00:20E... R... E... D.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24"Jiggered." That looks like it.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Three-time Formula One champion and all-time motor racing legend
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Sir Jackie Stewart
0:00:35 > 0:00:38is one of Scotland's best-loved sports personalities.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43In my motor racing days I'd lose about seven,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46maybe sometimes eight pounds in weight, just being dehydrated.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Coming out of a Formula One car after a race - I'd be jiggered.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Sir Jackie has been more jiggered than most people.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58In 1966, whilst giving it laldy at the Belgian Grand Prix,
0:00:58 > 0:00:59he came off the track.
0:00:59 > 0:01:05Well, I had an accident when it was heavy rain and we had aquaplaning -
0:01:05 > 0:01:08that means the water is so thick that the tyres don't go through the water,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10they go over the water,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14and then therefore the car is no longer in contact with Mother Earth.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And I went off the road, and I hit a telegraph pole,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I hit a woodcutter's hut.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23I broke a collarbone, some ribs and I also had a back injury. So...
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I was pretty jiggered!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30When you are jiggered you can't do the things you normally do.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36Sometimes you got to sit down more than you can walk, you're scunnered.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41Now, who outside of Scotland would understand the word "scunnered"?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44But, then again, it's enormously graphic,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46it's a really strong word,
0:01:46 > 0:01:51but it just says how badly you've been affected by something.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52"You're scunnered."
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Sir Jackie won his first Formula One championship in 1969
0:01:59 > 0:02:02but success and fame wasn't always part of his life.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Well, I grew up, of course, in Dumbarton...
0:02:07 > 0:02:10..I went to the Dumbarton Academy do for my schooling
0:02:10 > 0:02:14but, unfortunately, I was dyslexic and nobody understood that.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19So, I was called a dunderheid, "You're a dunderheid,"
0:02:19 > 0:02:22because I couldn't read or write correctly.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25It wasn't nice at the time but, I suppose,
0:02:25 > 0:02:30that drove me in sport to go and want to reach a higher level.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Sir Jackie went on to win an incredible 27 Grand Prix
0:02:37 > 0:02:42and received his knighthood in 2001 for services to motor racing.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Suddenly I was good at something. I was no longer a dunderheid.
