A Scottish term for a cloth, rag, or piece of clothing.
Where I grew up this was generally used to describe a damp dishcloth.
It is also where a clootie dumpling (a traditional Scottish fruit dumpling made by tying the ingredients up in a cloth and boiling them) gets its name.

Words you can keep
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.
Like any boy fae Aberdeen, Bertie's Maw had taught him from an early age the importance of carrying his own cloot at all times.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
