Deuk’s Dub — Animals in Scots #15

ยท

Hi All ๐Ÿ‘‹ Today’s Animal in Scots is a spin off from post #13 — Deuk’s Dub (Duck Pond).

All the Scots words for these posts are taken from The Concise English-Scots Dictionary, by the Scottish National Dictionary Association. The words chosen will be the generally accepted term, but as in all languages there are regional variations, as well as sub-species variations. For example, an owl is generally known as a hoolet in Scots, but an ool in Shetland & the NE. A barn owl is a white hoolet & a long eared owl, a hornnie hoolet.

Hae a guid day
