Thread Name: Scots Word: Sproose (from Corries)
Subject: RE: Scots Word: Sproose (from Corries)
Spruce trees are the correct meaning in this context.
BUT! there is an old scots word "sproose" used by the industrial working classes, which meant smartly dressed.
"Aye Wullie, yer lookin' gey sproose the day".
