How do you spell....

[powwerr]

The word that means "someone from the sticks" but in Scotland, i think.

It sounds like CHOOKTER but i doubt this is how its spelt.

Any proper scots know the spelling? ive always thought of it starting with a T

Tcheuchter ?

Teuchter - as in the bar in edinburgh?

Could be either in my eyes. Glad it starts with a T however.

I thought it was spelt with Tch at the start also, but maybe seeing as theres a pub named after it maybe the second suggestions correct. Who knows!?

Edit : Both suggestions come up saying the same things on Google.

Teuchter. A person from a remote area of the Highlands.

But it more specifically means someone from the Highlands and Islands. You wouldn't call someone that stays in a remote area of Dumfries a Tcheuchter.

i would, me and my little narrow mind apply this label to anyone that isnt from a major city.

I use the word jakey as someone that looks like a bum / homeless.
