Scots
A steep bank, crag, or ravine, especially one bordering a river, glen, or the sea, in Scots usage.
The word heuch turns up mostly in Scottish place-names and in Scots dialect writing, where it names a rough, steep piece of ground rather than a smooth hillside. A heuch often marks the edge of a river valley or coastline, where the land drops sharply. Older Scots poetry and local histories use the word for this kind of rugged terrain, and it survives today mainly in regional and historical texts.
