When they&#x2019;re falling gently in large flakes, that&#x2019;s when Shetlanders use the word &#x2018;flukra&#x2019;. Up in the north east, the word for very large snowflakes is also known as the closely related &#x2018;flaggie&#x2019; in Doric. There are lots of different words for snow and snowflakes across Scottish languages (which I think says something about our winters), but one of the loveliest in Gaelic is to describe the sight of a few snowflakes floating in the wind: &#x2018;spiandagan&#x2019;.&#xA0;&#xA0;</p><p>Once you see the first large flakes beginning to fall, it&#x2019;s time to keep a weather eye out and check the snow conditions on our mountains to make the most of ski season! If you&#x2019;re looking for something less extreme, then getting outside on a gentle walk is still a great option &#x2013; every Scottish landscape is enhanced by a blanket of snow.

Cold weather is usually part of our winter season at one time or another; we do experience all four seasons in their fullness. If you like wearing thick jumpers and scarves, then this is the time of year for you. There are lots of aspects of the cold that let you see Scotland in a new light, from sparkling frost-covered fields on a winter morning to the fiery warmth of a dram of whisky after being out in the cold. Plus the colder the weather gets, the better the opportunity to practice the art of &#x2018;coorie&#x2019;!&#xA0;</p><p>Whether it&#x2019;s &#x2018;snell&#x2019; or &#x2018;blowin a&#xA0;hoolie&#x2019; (from the Scots word &#x2018;hoolan&#x2019;, meaning a very strong wind), it&#x2019;s surely an excuse to indulge in our drinks and spirits. &#x2018;Te&#xF2;claid theth&#x2019; (Gaelic for hot chocolate) becomes a must at this time of year, so make sure you treat yourself to some of our rich and chocolatey comfort offerings.

But what does ‘coorie’ actually mean? In traditional Scots, it was used to describe bending or crouching in protection, usually from the weather! Nowadays, its meaning has evolved and we use it in a similar way to how the Danes use ‘hygge’, to talk about the feeling of cosiness, contentment and togetherness. </p> <p>It’s a particularly appropriate word for this time of year in Scotland, encouraging us to slow down with the season and appreciate what winter brings – curling up with your favourite book by a wood-fired stove, wrapping up in thick woollen jumpers to venture out in the frost, watching sparkling city Christmas lights, or savouring a hot bowl of stew. All of these are ‘coorie’. </p> <p><vs-link type="external" href="https://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/coorie">Translation from Dictionaries of the Scots Language</vs-link></p> <div class="mb-050"> <vs-link href="/travel-planning/when-to-visit/christmas-winter"> Browse our winter pages to get in the ‘coorie’ spirit<span class="visually-hidden">: 'Coorie' – to snuggle or nestle in</span> </vs-link> </div> </div> </template> </vs-listicle-item> <vs-listicle-item index="2" title="'Flukra' – large snowflakes falling" sub-title="Shaetlan"> <template v-slot:hippo-details> <div class="has-edit-button"> </div> </template> <template v-slot:image-slot> <div> <vs-image-with-caption latitude longitude variant="fullwidth" toggle-button-text="Toggle caption information" :is-hero-image="false" :mobile-overlap="false" :is-video="false" video-id :small-play-button="false" no-cookies-message="Cookies are needed to see video content from this place.

When they’re falling gently in large flakes, that’s when Shetlanders use the word ‘flukra’. Up in the north east, the word for very large snowflakes is also known as the closely related ‘flaggie’ in Doric. There are lots of different words for snow and snowflakes across Scottish languages (which I think says something about our winters), but one of the loveliest in Gaelic is to describe the sight of a few snowflakes floating in the wind: ‘spiandagan’.  </p> <p>Once you see the first large flakes beginning to fall, it’s time to keep a weather eye out and check the snow conditions on our mountains to make the most of ski season! If you’re looking for something less extreme, then getting outside on a gentle walk is still a great option – every Scottish landscape is enhanced by a blanket of snow. Just make sure you stay safe, check the conditions and <vs-link type="external" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.mountaineering.scot/safety-and-skills/thinkwinter" target="_blank">#ThinkWINTER</vs-link>.

Mirr means ‘to shimmer’, but its similarity to the word merry means they’re often called the ‘Merry Dancers’ in the north of the mainland and in neighbouring Orkney. In Gaelic folklore, the spectacle is known as ‘Na Fir-chlis' or ‘the nimble men’, once thought to be faeries dancing in the sky. </p> <p>There’s no guarantee you’ll see the Northern Lights on a trip to Scotland, but it makes the event even more special if you do. Our dark sky parks and unpolluted skies mean you’re in for a stargazing treat either way. The longer nights in winter make it the ideal time of year to venture out to see the stars, just make sure you wrap up warm! </p> <p><vs-link type="external" href="https://www.shetland.org/blog/what-are-the-mirrie-dancers">Translation from Shetland.org</vs-link></p> <div class="mb-050"> <vs-link href="/things-to-do/landscapes-nature/northern-lights"> Northern lights<span class="visually-hidden">: ‘Mirrie Dancers’ – the Northern Lights</span> </vs-link> </div> </div> </template> </vs-listicle-item> <vs-listicle-item index="4" title="'Seasgair' – cosy, protected, snug" sub-title="Gaelic"> <template v-slot:hippo-details> <div class="has-edit-button"> </div> </template> <template v-slot:image-slot> <div> <vs-image-with-caption latitude longitude variant="fullwidth" toggle-button-text="Toggle caption information" :is-hero-image="false" :mobile-overlap="false" :is-video="false" video-id :small-play-button="false" no-cookies-message="Cookies are needed to see video content from this place.

When it turns dark and clouds roll threateningly across the sky, you’ll be tempted to grab your umbrella and wellies or, if you're like me, be getting excited for the first signs of snow. However, Scotland’s weather is nothing if not unpredictable, so this often comes to nothing! Sometimes that’s a relief, but it can also be disappointing if you’re expecting twinkling flakes of snow. </p> <p>So how should you prepare for this dramatic and changeable weather? We’ve got you covered. Scotland’s weather can get a bad rep, but if you embrace the shifting seasons you’ll discover there’s beauty to be found in all weathers here, whether it’s atmospheric mist clinging to the hills or the ‘coorie’ feeling of watching the drizzle from inside a cosy café. As the saying goes in Scotland, ‘there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing’. </p> <p><vs-link type="external" href="https://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/blin_v2_n_adj">Translation from Dictionaries of the Scots Language</vs-link></p> <div class="mb-050"> <vs-link href="/travel-planning/weather"> All you need to know about Scotland’s weather<span class="visually-hidden">: 'Blin' – threatening to rain or snow but coming to nothing</span> </vs-link> </div> </div> </template> </vs-listicle-item> <vs-listicle-item index="6" title="'Gloaming' – the time around dusk when the light glows" sub-title="Scots"> <template v-slot:hippo-details> <div class="has-edit-button"> </div> </template> <template v-slot:image-slot> <div> <vs-image-with-caption latitude longitude variant="fullwidth" toggle-button-text="Toggle caption information" :is-hero-image="false" :mobile-overlap="false" :is-video="false" video-id :small-play-button="false" no-cookies-message="Cookies are needed to see video content from this place.

It’s that mix of rain and snow which leaves you pretty wet and cold. Another Scots word that comes to mind is ‘dreich’, which you can use to describe almost all grey or depressing weather in Scotland! </p> <p>But never fear, when it’s grim outside there are plenty of world-class attractions and experiences to shelter in from the storm. Take the opportunity to explore an art gallery or to delve into Scotland’s history in a museum – we’ve got a handy list of rainy-day activities and attractions for when you want some respite from the elements. I also use it as an excuse to refuel and sample some of our winter food and drink offerings, from comforting soups to a fiery wee dram.</p> <p><vs-link type="external" href="https://glosbe.com/en/gd/sleet">Translation from Glosbe</vs-link></p> <div class="mb-050"> <vs-link href="/things-to-do/attractions/rainy-day"> Indoor attractions and activities to enjoy<span class="visually-hidden">: 'Flin' – rain which freezes before it touches the ground</span> </vs-link> </div> <div class="mb-050"> <vs-link href="/things-to-do/food-drink/seasonal-food-calendar"> See what food is in season in winter<span class="visually-hidden">: 'Flin' – rain which freezes before it touches the ground</span> </vs-link> </div> </div> </template> </vs-listicle-item> <vs-listicle-item index="9" title="'Snell' – a piercing, biting cold" sub-title="Scots"> <template v-slot:hippo-details> <div class="has-edit-button"> </div> </template> <template v-slot:image-slot> <div> <vs-image-with-caption latitude longitude variant="fullwidth" toggle-button-text="Toggle caption information" :is-hero-image="false" :mobile-overlap="false" :is-video="false" video-id :small-play-button="false" no-cookies-message="Cookies are needed to see video content from this place.

Cold weather is usually part of our winter season at one time or another; we do experience all four seasons in their fullness. If you like wearing thick jumpers and scarves, then this is the time of year for you. There are lots of aspects of the cold that let you see Scotland in a new light, from sparkling frost-covered fields on a winter morning to the fiery warmth of a dram of whisky after being out in the cold. Plus the colder the weather gets, the better the opportunity to practice the art of ‘coorie’! </p> <p>Whether it’s ‘snell’ or ‘blowin a hoolie’ (from the Scots word ‘hoolan’, meaning a very strong wind), it’s surely an excuse to indulge in our drinks and spirits. ‘Teòclaid theth’ (Gaelic for hot chocolate) becomes a must at this time of year, so make sure you treat yourself to some of our rich and chocolatey comfort offerings. If you want something a bit stronger, then sampling whisky is a great way of staving off the cold, warming you from the inside out! </p> <p><vs-link type="external" href="https://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/snell_adj_adv_v">Translation from Dictionaries of the Scots Language</vs-link></p> <div class="mb-050"> <vs-link href="/things-to-do/food-drink/best-food"> Visit these delicious hot chocolate spots in Edinburgh<span class="visually-hidden">: 'Snell' – a piercing, biting cold</span> </vs-link> </div> <div class="mb-050"> <vs-link href="/things-to-do/food-drink/whisky"> Discover the world of whisky<span class="visually-hidden">: 'Snell' – a piercing, biting cold</span> </vs-link> </div> </div> </template> </vs-listicle-item> </ol> </vs-col> </vs-row> </vs-container> <vs-container> <vs-row class="mb-150"> <vs-col cols="12"> <vs-panel> <vs-rich-text-wrapper variant="lead"> <p>Languages are always evolving and changing, so there are plenty of different ways of spelling and interpreting some of the words on this list.
