Scots to English word converter: become a language expert and never be confused again

When visiting Scotland (or even other parts of Scotland) it becomes quite apparent that Scots use a lot of words you won't find anywhere else.

This can be confusing for tourists and outsiders as they try to understand what is being said - thankfully help is at hand.

We've created a handy tool that converts Scots words to English and vice versa, making it easy to find out what each means.

Feel free to enter as many words as you like, though as always not every English word has a Scots equivalent.

Have fun and feel free to tell us of any we might have missed below.

Don't miss the top culture and heritage stories from around Scotland. Sign up to our twice weekly Scotland Now newsletter here.
