Breeks — Things in Scots #17
Hi All 👋 and welcome to December’s project: Things in Scots. This month I am collaborating with my wife, Susan (? follow this link to see and hear her post), and we’ll be posting mostly daily — Things in Scots (great title eh?).
Breeks (fork of a tree) is today’s Things in Scots. Also known as a glack, cloff and bouchtie.
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?
If any of you out there have a burning desire to know the Scots word for anything, please let us know!
Hae a guid day

Sven and Slugz — Cees Black and White Photo Challenge
Hi All 👋 My entry for CB&W Photo Challenge: All Sorts of Pets, Living to Stuff Animals to Pet Rocks.
Meet Sven and Slugz, they have been with my wife and I for as long as we have been together (over 22 years) and pretty much go everywhere with us. Slugz used to travel with me whilst I was in the Navy and is better travelled than a lot of people I know; he’s been to the Baltic, through the Mediterranean numerous times, to the Gulf and both East and West Africa. He’s sailed round Cape Horn, been through the Panama Canal and visited Florida, as well as done much travelling around Scotland.
