  Ned (Scottish) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ned is a derogatory term applied to certain young people in Scotland (similar to the terms chav used in England, skanger or knacker used in Ireland and spide used in Northern Ireland).
According to Rosie Kane, an MSP for the Scottish Socialist Party ned is an acronym derived from the phrase "non-educated [sic] delinquent", although in truth this derivation is a backronym.
Neds seem to have much in common with the Scally generally found in North West England, particularly Liverpool.

 NED KELLY
Ned’s family meant everything to him and he was the man of the family at the age of 12.
Ned Kelly may have had a revolver at the time of the incident, but it seems highly unlikely that it produced the constable’s wound, certainly not as alleged by Fitzpatrick.
Ned Kelly was a natural leader, but it was later revealed that he had no plans to carry out organised crimes from his hideout.

 SSP News : News from the Scottish Socialist Party
She claimed that it is an acronym derived from the phrase "non-educated delinquent", and that the use of the word by senior politicians stigmatises young people and does nothing to get to the root of the problem, which Kane and her colleagues claim is poverty and lack of opportunities.
In the media onslaught that followed, with Kane being told by the headline writers of several tabloids that she was "Off Her Ned", the debate became somewhat lost in a wrangle over political correctness and the origin of the work 'ned'.
ON June 30 you uncritically presented the Scottish Drug Enforcement Agency's annual report as a success when it was in fact one of the most devastating indictments of the failure of the law-enforcement agencies in Scotland to make even the slightest of impacts on the fl market in illegal drugs.

 Highland Heritage: Scottish Americans in the American South, by Celeste Ray. Introduction.
What makes Scottish immigration to North Carolina unique is the direct, large-scale immigration of Scottish Highlanders beginning in the 1730s; their localized settlement in the Cape Fear Valley; and the persistence of a Scottish identity in the area to the present.
In my initial forays to Scottish events, I was intrigued by the way in which Scottish Americans from across the country, of Highland, Lowland, and Scots-Irish ancestry alike, celebrate their ethnic identity with the imagery and material culture of Highland Scots.
The North Carolina Scottish community consists of many organizations and individuals with local, state, national, and international affiliations in addition to those who, more specifically, have attended Scottish-oriented religious gatherings or other events and are thereby actively aware of their Scottish heritage and genealogy.

 Hatred and Respect: The Class Shame of Ned 'Humour' | Alex Law | Variant 25
As ‘chav’; or ned culture, these are the backward subjects of the Respect agenda, their abject whiteness a sign of cultural hopelessness and an embarrassment to the new forward-looking agenda of multicultural neo-liberalism.
Neds lack basic social skills or any kind of a work ethic, and are hell-bent on creating mayhem and misery, especially in the most deprived housing schemes (with ‘schemies’ in some places substituting for neds as the catch-all term).
ned (or ‘chav’; or whatever local term is used) is a word that can be invoked over and over again because it gives a name to something unmentionable in society: the most impoverished, reviled, humiliated and dominated sections of the working class.

 BBC - h2g2 - Anatomy of a Ned
The rapid rise of the ned (non-educated delinquent, as they are popularly known) is not to be ignored, being found all over Scotland, particularly around Glasgow and Central Scotland (most notably in Livingston or Falkirk).
The dressed ned is mostly seen at 3 am (chucking out time) outside the nightclubs fighting whoever or whatever has offended him in his drugged up, alcoholic state, accompanied by a gaggle of screaming sengas crying out 'leave um, it's jist no wurth it man!'.
Believe it or not, the friendly ned is normally not shy of going to work for a living, although they do tend to spend most of their wages either on their numerous kids by different mothers or on their car.

 Ned Kelly The Movie
Kerry Condon's unofficial audition for a role in Ned Kelly came when she was performing in a play with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Although she knew little of the Ned Kelly legend before beginning work on the film, Condon was surprised to discover that the bushranger's father had grown up near her own home in Ireland.
Despite the story being focused on the four men of the Kelly Gang, and Ned in particular, Condon's character is highly important to the storyline.

 Nation and Province in the First British Empire: Scotland and the Americas, 1600-1800   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Its greatest strength is its investigation of a wide range of activities before about 1800, with specific reference to areas of activity and points in time, but without resorting to hagiography, overly generalized discussions, or strictly the region that became the United States and Canada.
John G. Reid shows that, despite limited Scottish involvement in Nova Scotia between 1632 and 1713, the frequent use of Scottish toponyms in seventeenth-century maps helped to define the territorial and fishing rights of the British not only to that colony but also to New England.
Roger Emerson demonstrates that although the Scottish literati had little interest in America before 1680, their involvement in London's Royal Society and the Oxford Philosophical Society after that period significantly changed that attitude.

Usually congregating in groups and indulging in behaviour that ranges from the vaguely distracting to the genuinely threatening, neds have become flavour of the month via a number of websites that satirise their existence.
The clothing is accessorised with lashings of gold jewellery and the ned is accompanied by the sort of dog of which Princess Anne would be proud.
Celebrities and neds might be worlds apart but, via the image they present to the outside world, they’ve never had more in common.

 'Waking Ned Devine' (PG)
In this case, the setting is not a Scottish seaside town but Tully More, a tiny farming community of 52 eccentrics ensconced in the hilly hinterlands of the Irish Republic.
When it is announced that an unnamed denizen of Tully More holds the winning ticket to the 7 million-pound Irish lottery, 69-year-old Michael O'Sullivan (David Kelly) and 72-year-old best friend Jackie O'Shea (Ian Bannen) set out to unearth the winner and ingratiate themselves with him or her in hopes of sharing in the windfall.
In the sweetly cynical world according to "Ned Devine," it takes a village – not to mention a little larceny – to raise a few million pounds.

 Waking Ned Devine
While that particular sight gag provokes an inevitable comparison, Waking Ned Devine is closer to The Full Monty in its overall tone and temperament–this is an amiable little film with a lot of big laughs.
Waking Ned Devine is set in the small Irish community of Tullymore where one of the locals, Jackie O'Shea (Ian Bannen), learns that a resident of the village has just won the national lottery.
Since Tullymore sports a grand population of 52, Jackie believes it shouldn't be too hard tracking down the lucky sod who correctly guessed the six numbers, all with an eye to encouraging the individual to share his or her millions.

 Family Research - English, Scottish and Irish Genealogy » Ned Kelly's brother 'may have survived police shoot-out'
THE brother of the notorious Australian outlaw Ned Kelly and another gang member may have survived the final showdown with police, it was claimed yesterday.
An amateur historian chose the 125th anniversary of the gun battle to challenge the conventional wisdom that all the gang were captured or killed, and he called for a coroner to investigate whether Dan Kelly and Steve Hart managed to escape.
The showdown between police and the outlaws, who wore suits of homemade armour fashioned from ploughshares, is part of Australian folklore, and the fascination has been fuelled by a series of films and books.
