It means you are talking nonsense! 'yer haverin laddie' is what I tell my son when he's...well, haverin!
(I'm Scottish also!)

Both a noun and verb, someone who is prone to or is in the act of talk a load of idiotic nonsense:
Tony Blair is a bit of a haver
Tony Blair was having a bit of a haver

I LOVE that song!
Yes, it's Scottish for "to talk nonsense/gibberish/silly", but generally used more for a guy trying to flirt with a girl, not like an adult talking silly to a baby.
