Think You Know Scots? – Quiz


The Chambers Dictionary in Edinburgh prides itself on its rich coverage of Scottish vocabulary. It includes words like messages and tablet, familiar words in English that have a unique meaning in Scotland, as well as words like outwith that are so familiar to Scots that often they don’t realize the words are Scottish at all. It also includes those words that are distinctively and undoubtedly Scottish, like tourie, capernoity and numpty.
