Spot on re 'braxy' ('braxie'), as per SND. Carline has various meaings, 1. old woman - as in 'Wife of Usher's Well'. 2. witch. 3. the last sheaf of corn. The corn-dolly made with it. Rickle means 'a heap, pile, carelessly thrown together'. Note 'rickle o' banes (bones) held up wi' string' in 'Coulter's Candy'. In the north east, it's pronounced 'reechle'. I just can't figure what the two words together mean. Yes Jim, the Todholm Inn is still there. Having strong Paisley links, I've had lunch there many times.
