Regshoe: I didn't actually know it was related to 'bra'! But of course.

I do like that 'braw' is used for Alison--my first association to it is the meaning that is given as 'Handsome, of fine physique; “stout, able-bodied, fit for warfare”' in the Scots dictionary, but then there's 'Well or gaily dressed; fine, as applied to clothes', which I suppose is the meaning Broster is using here, and also just generally 'worthy'.

I had Alison thinking that Ewen has a braw backside when he's naked in one of my fics. *g* Which I hope is correct usage.

Thanks for the slang links! Also, here's a slang dictionary from 1788.
