There are probably quite a few new terms that you will encounter along the way. Most of us know “wee” (as in “small” rather than “I need a…”) but here are a few other common ones:
Bealach - A pass.
Bothy - A mountain shelter
Burn - A small stream.
Dreich - Bleak or dreary (especially when used for weather).
Kyle - A narrow sea channel.
Loch - A Lake. A sea loch is connected to the sea.
