Scots Blog
The Scots language has a rich tradition, and abounds with marvellous words. This blog will regularly show a different Scots or Gaelic word with its English equivalent. I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I do!

GEAN = WILD CHERRY
The gean is a distinctive wild cherry which is a fast growing deciduous tree native to Scotland, and is found in mixed and beech woodlands throughout the country.
Its lovely white blossom is a welcome sight in spring time.
