What it means
Braw means really good, lovely, or just plain cracking. You'll hear it about anything worth smiling at: braw weather, a braw outfit, even a braw wee kid. It comes from Scots, traced back to French brave, and it still feels proudly local. Drop it into a sentence like That's braw and you've basically handed out a proper Scottish stamp of approval.
Usage examples
"It's braw the day, so grab yer jacket and let's head up Arthur's Seat before the haar rolls in and wrecks the view."
"What a braw day for it, blue sky over the loch and not a midge in sight."
"She turned up in a braw wee dress and the whole room went quiet, pure stunning."
