Here in Scotland, there are plenty of words and phrases that are commonplace to us but are likely to raise an eyebrow of anyone south of the border and beyond.
From 'haud yer wheesht' to 'drouth' to 'I'm going to the pictures', many examples of both the Scots language and Scottish slang have remained popular over the years. One common word that is particularly fascinating is 'outwith'.
Meaning 'outside' or 'beyond', the word is used so frequently that you may be surprised to learn that few people outside of Scotland have even heard of it. If you have ever said it around a non-Scot, you likely will have been met with a confused reaction.
