Rimie jennie nettle (frosty stinging nettle); also known as a jaggie nettle or jobbie nettle.

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
