Stank.

“Ah ken we cam up tae this larach tae tak in the re-enforced gushets an study the stank but this place gies me the willies an minds me o the Bride O Frankenstein.”

Translate:

stank: a moat, ditch, small semi stagnant sheet of water.

“I know we came up to this site to examine the re-enforced corner structures and study the moat but this place gives me the creeps and it reminds of the film, The Bride of Frankenstein.”

[stank spelled out in phonetic alphabet.]
