Oh dear! "Lang may your lum reek" is Broad Scots for " may your  chimney keep 
smoking" - or may you always have coal or peat to keep the  fire burning.  
Edinburgh - the capital of Scotland, and my home town - used  to be locally 
called "Auld Reekie" due to the amount of smoke that came out of  the city's 
chimneys - before someone invented smokeless fuel!!
