What does CROFT mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
A small farm and its surrounding enclosed land, especially one worked by a tenant crofter in the Scottish Highlands.
A croft is typically too small to support a family on its own, so crofters have long combined farming with fishing, weaving, or other trades to make ends meet. The system took shape after the Highland Clearances, when many tenants were resettled onto small, regulated plots rather than the open grazing land they had previously worked.
