Anyone able explain exactly what this phrase means/origins. Apparently it's a Scottish phrase. Someone wants to know.

Doos are doves, or pigeons, it's more or less interchangable... Flee would be fly. But with that said, I still don't know what it means :) "The doves fly from the dovecots."

That's a start :smile:
Possibly the same as "fleeing the coop" ?

i think you may have misheard the phrase - in aberdeen a common greeting is 'foo's yer doos' - 'how are your pigeons' in the queen's ingerlish.
