The Scottish Word: crowdie with its definition and its meaning illustrated and captioned with the word used in context in the Scots language and in English.

Crowdie.

“Made at one time by every crofter in the Highlands, crowdie involved souring fresh milk by a warm fire or sunny windowsill, then cooking gently until it curdled. Once separated, the whey was drained then salt and cream added to the curds, making a crumbly white cheese.…”

“…The Pictish version would have been firmer and saltier, pressed into crocks and covered with melted butter, to make a longer lasting cheese.” More information on the cheese and where you might get it in this article on The List.co.uk who collate information on events and entertainment and are based in Edinburgh.
