As they say when the clock fell in the pram, the time is on the wane (sic).
Good way to bring a speech to an end in Scotland.
The gruip-muck channel in byre.
Graip - muck fork.
Syne (as in deadly sin) oot the pail -rinse the bucket.
Stankie - moorhen
Craigie- heron.
Among my favourites are stramash and stooshie. As in " he got blootered and there was a right stramash outside the pub. But that was nothing compared to the stooshie when his wife caught him"

My pal in Keith calls cattle, nout or nowt. Not sure spellingBrilliant Thread.
We are in the NE of Scotland and have more or less a complete langage called Doric.
There are many books etc on the subject, and the area is fairly proud of it. If two strong Doric speakers are talking, the words used, the accent, and the speed of talking, means that an outsider will not understand.
Having said that, after reading this it seems that other areas have just as many "words", and by the sound of it I would struggle in some other areas of the country.
Anyway, "I've been oot an mated an bedded the beese in the big coort, caaed a load O sila ooer till the aul steadin wis the cowpy bogie, seen there is a heefer nae grate so gid her a jab, an noo its fly time so am in for tay an a butterie"
Plenty on here will know what that lot means.
'Vinnid' means gone a bit rancid like a corked bottle of wine or something,or anything food or drink wise gone off a bit
In the North Yorkshire Dales, the term ''sista'' is equivalent to the French ''voila'', or the Welsh '' see you there''.
I remember as a child, saying to my brother ''Sista, there's a weasel following us along the inside of a stone wall''.
And a lad walking with us, who was staying in a nearby holiday cottage, said ''why do you call him your sister, when he's your brother?''
(PS. A weasel is a very inquisitive animal, and will regularly follow humans.

sounds a bit damp and stinky....Many years ago i used to work with several old guys(nearly one myself now)who when they stopped to roll a smoke, referred to it as Tich time.
Never heard this anywhere else, they were all ex ww2 veterans, wondered if it was a military thing.

Has anyone heard the term ''Galowa''? (rhymes with Alloa, as in Alloa Athletic nil)
That's the first time I've seen it written. It used to be used to refer to a type of horse in the Yorkshire Dales. It probably came from the time that black Galloway horses were popular. But it was also used to refer to a Dales or Fell pony x Clydesdale or the black Friesian horses
