Mrs McKenzie is trying hard to stay upright as she makes her way down an icy High Street to do her shopping.
As she comes skittering into the McTavish's butchers shop she sees the owner standing with his back to the wall heater.
She points & says "Morning Mr McTavish, is that yer Ayreshire bacon"
He shivers & says "Aye, that's right, cos it's awffy cold oot there, the day Mrs McKenzie"

LOL. TGW, very funny!
But, as a Scottish born chap, may I point out that "Ayreshire" has no 'e'. And "skittering" (skitters) has an entirely different meaning to the one you intended!!

I lived in Scotland for a good part of my life, my daughter was born in Dumfries and I've been subjected to several doses of the skitters in my time, believe me (usually after a few too many cans of 80/........).

LOL. I see - no problem
I would suggest replacing "skittering" with 'chuntering' or 'breenging'.
Ayrshire bacon though is rather good! As is most farm produce from around that area.

There’s a medical conference and the world’s top three physicians - an American, a Swiss, and an Englishman, were giving presentations about the advances they had achieved in the field of artificial limbs.
Says the Englishman, "There was a baby girl born in Yorkshire without legs so I attached a pair of artificial ones of my own design, inspired by some of the works of Leonardo Da Vinci. Now she is a three-time winner of the London Marathon!!
The Swiss doctor's speech begins…….. “In Lucerne there was a baby boy born without forearms so we attached artificial forearms of my design, inspired by lobster claws. Now that he's grown, he has become an Olympic weight lifter, and a gold medallist at that!"
The American physician jumps onto the rostrum….. “That's nothing to what we have done. In Texas there was a little helpless baby boy born without a HEAD!
We were inspired by Disney movies so we attached a PUMPKIN and now he's the Leader of the Free World."
