Saw this funny sketch which is mostly in Scottish dialect and picked up one word which quite obviously has Dutch connections!
At one point the medical officer says, "Will ye stop keeking at my @rse!" (1:45)
Keek = kijk (from kijken to look)
This website claims it is indeed descended from Middle Dutch:
