Favourites from my Scots cousins and mother:
Confab - a conversation
"Dinnae fash!" (don't get overwrought)
"Ah dinnae ken..." (I don't get it)
"It's a dreich day!" (cold, damp and miserable - archetypal Scots weather!) (and most popular for infantry exercises)
"Malingerer!" - (someone lazy - Grandad used to tease me with this and accused me of "Swingin' the lead" as well.
Traditional Amazing Grace on the pipes at funerals
Folk who wear a stocking knife and the superstition is it must draw blood before it is drawn or an ill fate will befall the wielder (your own blood will do so you can prick yourself)
In a clannish (Gov't Type 1) situation, you could have clan feuds which would embroil unwary travellers.
