The name is self explanatory, however if you come across one it will usually use words like 'gowpin'; howk; sair; scill; (and the most commonly used) Sellick' and also expressions like 'he's gauin ailsa' meaning 'one is angered'. They usually reside in Tarbolton or 'Tar-beeeee' to its inhabitants. They are also something of a legend in Ayrshire.
