Alright folks, bit of a strange 1.
Any burns officinado's or folk used to the auld scots dialect? My knowledge of burns is not great
Long story short i've bought an od ruin to renovate to move into, sometime... and looking for a name for it.
I'm 99% certain it has been an old wash/laundry house for the big house when it was first built back in 1870's or so (part of a small group of houses scattered about the policies close to an old big estate house, originally would all be estate/houe workers houses) Sadly the estate is all split up now
In more recent years afore it was abandoned it wash used for some forestry work.
So something catchy in auld scots either laundry or forestry related.
Thought about 'The Rutters Howf' but sounds a bit pornographic or is that my dirty mind
So was thinking of a name in auld scots to reflect this. I have just found the DSL dictionery (last time i searched it didnae come up) so have found a couple of words (launer, and sonsie, but i thought sonsie meant something totally different so might confuse folk)
Possibly 'Auld Launer hoose' might work but most folk will think i've made a spelling mistake (which knowing me is more than likely)
Any ideas???
Cheers in advance
