Holly — Flower of the Day Dec 10
Author: jezbraithwaite
I'm a Royal Navy Veteran from Scotland and love to get out and about with my wife, susantbraithwaite.com, and my faithful camera and capture whatever catches my eye. My posts will be a collection of photos from our travels and anything I find interesting; and squirrels, lots of squirrels.
Dainty-lion — Things in Scots #10
Hi all π and welcome to December’s project: Things in Scots. This month I am collaborating with my wife, Susan (β follow this link to see her post), and we’ll be posting daily — Things in Scots (great title eh? π).
The dainty-lion (great name π(dandelion)) is today’s Things in Scots. These bright, colourful, wee flooers are also known as: pee-the-bed, pish-the-bed, horse gowan, and what o’clock is it?
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.
As we do these posts, we’re learning as well; so we apologise in advance for any mistakes βΊοΈ
If any of you out there have a burning desire to know the Scots word for anything π€, please let us know!
Hae a guid day π
