There's a bit mair tae th' definition o' "Bothy". The wee sma' bothies up awa' frae th' hooses were nae jist usit for a plaice tae gae oot o' th' rain. Field-wairkers o' ev'ry kind tuik theirsel's tae th' bothy after sun-doon for guid craic an' th' tellin' o' sic tales as a mither'd nae allow' ben th' hoose. There was muckle passin' on o' guid tunes an' stories thro' th' nichts, an' it was pairt o' th' compensation for sic back-breakin' wairk as they did durin' th' day. Wi' Braid Scots, as wi' ither tongues, th' basic meanin' o' a waird is guid, but th' connotations micht be jist as important.
