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

The Moon.

A timely time for me to feature a big full moon. This year (2016) sees the moon at its closest to the earth.

It will not be this close again for another 60+ years so make the most of it.

This biggest of big full moons happens on the 14th of November.

In Scotland it will rise around sunset and it will set about 7:30 in the morning.

To get the full effect of its increase in size you need to see it on the horizon and get trees or buildings next to or in front of it to give it scale.

Otherwise it’s just the same ole moon in the sky as always.
