A rag used to wipe your arse.
While it may appear to be a slightly distasteful but necessary choice to make in a desperate situation, cloots in fact are regularly the preferred method of wiping in Nort-Eastern Scotland due to the relative inexpense versus toilet paper. In posher households each family member will have their own cloot instead of the more traditional communal version.
The word cloot itself is simply a varient of cloth.

Get the Barlinnie mug.Other than the obvious....
Arabs are what the fans of Dundee United FC are known as. The nickname stems from their excessively sandy football (soccer) pitch, which in turn is due to their geology on the East coast of Scotland.
Fans will often dress for the occasion in a caricatured Westernised robe and headdress, although last time I checked abstention from alcohol was not part of the MO.
