The Scottish Word: trachle with its definition and its meaning illustrated and captioned with the word used in context in the Scots language and in English.
Glad I’m not the only one to remember this word! In Aberdeenshire “Sair’s ma trachle” means roughly “I have a hard row to hoe”, but is often used ironically in conclusion by a person who who has been having a good moan.
We have 5 children, 2 foster children and 3 birth children – I have just put the initials of all of our names into a scrabble dictionary and we spell the word trachle, definition: an exhausting effort 😂
I love how you incorporated those great Scottish words into your illustration!
