Someone from the HIGHLANDS of Scotland. NOT always from the East coast as everyone likes to think. Usually come from rural areas of the highlands, where Gaelic is spoken in parts. Often mocked for our 'heeland' accents and lack of knowledge about city living. Most think we live in an area with no technology, but we too have broadband, mobile phones and TV.
Basically the Scottish equivalent of an American hick.
Originally meaing someone from the Highlands of Scotland, the word has become bastardised over the years with the definition becoming more and more loose.
An actual teuchter: someone from the Highlands A teuchter in Aberdeen: someone from the countryside
A teuchter in Dundee: someone from Aberdeen
A teuchter in Edinburgh: someone from the north
A teuchter in Glasgow: someone from literally anywhere other than Glasgow
A cheuchter is simply a person from anywhere in Scotland roughly north of the Central Belt. Seen by some a very slightly derogatory, it isn't really as a huge number of Lowland Scots will be descended from Cheuchter stock. Ask a foreigner to picture an archetypal Scot, and they will probably have in mind a cheuchter - a big, hardy possibly ginger lad or a naturally pretty girl with a poetic lilt in their voice, and naturally they will use Scots rather than English words. They would never have a girlfriend named 'Moistie' and would never use estuary English such as 'me gob' - has Caz ever met a cheuchter? BTW I'm a Lowland Scot, from Glasgow
