Scottish words are special because they have rich historical roots, coming from Old Norse, Gaelic, and Old English. They often have unique pronunciations, like the rolling “r” in “bairn”, and capture specific experiences, such as “tartle” (hesitating to remember a name). Regional dialects like Doric and Lallans add variety, while words like “bonnie” and “dreich” reflect Scotland’s cultural connection to nature and family.
