Scots words for weather

Michelle McManus talks about the Scottish weather and how the Scots language best describes it. She discusses the flexibility of the word braw and references other words like drookit and gallus. She speculates that our challenging weather has shaped the Scots tongue creating more words for foul weather than fair. We are encouraged to reflect on how the weather makes us feel.
