What does LALLAN mean in Scrabble?

Belonging to or characteristic of the Lowlands of Scotland, especially its speech.
Lallan is a Scots word meaning lowland, used to describe places, people or speech belonging to the Lowlands of Scotland rather than the Highlands. It appears most often in the plural form Lallans, the name given to the traditional Lowland Scots tongue used in poetry and song, notably by Robert Burns and later Scots-language poets. The word marks a real cultural and linguistic divide within Scotland, distinguishing Lowland speech and customs from Highland Gaelic tradition. Today lallan survives mainly in literary Scots and in discussions of Scottish dialect rather than in everyday speech.
