Bourie
“Hello wee man. What brings you doon oor bourie on a braw bricht day like the day?”
Translated:
bourie: burrow, lair of an animal.
“Hello youngster. What brings you down our burrow on such a bright nice sunny day as this?”

This references when I was a child and we had access to estate grounds thickly overgrown with rhododendrons.
All the branches were big strong and tangled under a canopy of thick leaves blocking out the light.
A perfect place for small bodies to play Tarzan.
I still climb trees if I get the chance even now.
