      Glossary

      For your reference, I’ve compiled a short list of Scottish terms and words that I used in this story:

      Aiya — Ouch, a sound of distress

      Arisaid — A Scottish woman’s dress that is similar to a highlander’s great kilt.

      Bairn — A child

      Blaeberry — Known also as the European blueberry or bilberry. The fruit is referred to as blaeberry in Scotland and is different from the North American variety

      Bonny — Attractive or beautiful

      Braw — Beautiful, fine or handsome

      Burn — Small stream or brook

      Claymore — Double-edged sword that Highland warriors used

      Great Kilt — Originating in the 16th century, this full-length garment worn by Highlanders was known as the belted plaid or great kilt. The fabric was approximately nine yards, and was pleated and secured with a belt. The lower portion of the great kilt was adjusted to come up to a man’s knees. The upper half of the garment could be modified to either drape over the shoulders or be worn as a hood. A pin or a brooch might also be used to hold the excess material together at the shoulder.

      Ken — Know

      Och — Oh
