Cheuchter

A cheuchter is simply a person from anywhere in Scotland roughly north of the Central Belt. Seen by some a very slightly derogatory, it isn't really as a huge number of Lowland Scots will be descended from Cheuchter stock. Ask a foreigner to picture an archetypal Scot, and they will probably have in mind a cheuchter - a big, hardy possibly ginger lad or a naturally pretty girl with a poetic lilt in their voice, and naturally they will use Scots rather than English words. They would never have a girlfriend named 'Moistie' and would never use estuary English such as 'me gob' - has Caz ever met a cheuchter? BTW I'm a Lowland Scot, from Glasgow

There's busloads of cheuchters down at Hampden today for the Scotland game.
