Scottish Word of the Week: "Blether" 🗣️💬
Here at Scottish Travel Centre, we love to celebrate the rich culture and charm of Scotland – and what better way to do that than by sharing a bit of our language? This week's Scottish word is Blether, meaning a good old chat, often with a sprinkle of gossip. Whether it's catching up with friends, chatting with a stranger at a local café, or just passing the time on a beautiful Scottish day, there's always an opportunity for a wee blether!
If you're planning to visit Scotland, don't be surprised if you hear this word being used in everyday conversations. Scots are known for being friendly and welcoming, so a blether is never too far away. It's a reminder that, whether you’re from here or simply visiting, the heart of Scotland is in its people and the connections we make along the way.
So, next time you're in Scotland, remember to stop for a blether and enjoy the warm hospitality that makes this place so special.
Fun Fact: The word blether has been part of Scottish dialect for centuries and can also be used as a verb. For example, "We were blethering away for hours!" It's a wonderful way to connect with others – one blether at a time.
Feel free to share our Scottish Word of the Week poster on social media and tag someone you’d love to blether with!
