scrog

Scrog′gie, Scrog′gy, covered with underwood.

It was Alan’s tryst to lie every night between twelve and two “in a bit scrog of wood by east of Silvermills, and by south the south mill-lade.”

Scad, gleam, reflection. schore, a man of high rank. scog, v. hide. scomfisht, discomfited. scowther, scorch. scrog, a stunted shrub. shavling-gabbit, shavling mouthed, a shavling being a carpenter's tool of the plane order.

Out over cairn and moss, Out over scrog and scaur, He ran as runs the clansman That bears the cross of war.

It called on all to gather From every scrog and scaur, That loved their fathers’ tartan And the ancient game of war.
