boorach

A Scots word, also spelt as "bourach".

Refers to a state of great confusion, messiness, or untidiness - more so than a "guddle".
Can also be used as verb, and originally referred to a heap or pile of material, generally stones or blocks of peat.

"This kitchen is an absolute boorach."
"You've made a right boorach of the cooking".
