I've just been watching some videos a friend taped of the BBC
"Story of English" series. The 3rd in the series is on the Scots
and has a minister reading from a Scots bible -


Jesus said " A blessed on you !"

which is interpreted in subtitles as "A blessing on you !". That 
suggests that "needs washed" is "needs washing" in this dialect.
