Cloot(3) As an ignorant Ulsterman unfamiliar with the idiosyncracies of the Scottish vernacular I have R?G so far, but what I don't have is the faintest idea what the answer might be.
If you've never eaten clootie dumpling, you have never lived...traditional birthday treat for us up North.
Steamed pudding full of raisins and sultanas boiled in a cloth or cloot.
It has a thick skin which, like marmite, people either love or hate...and sometimes there were sixpences hidden in it...the dumpling, not the skin, I mean.
Glad to have helped. :-))
