Can’t believe it was 20 years ago. Thoroughly enjoyed the reminder today. As for the word sitootery it’s become our standard word for outside shelters ever since.

It’s an interesting and evocative word, and made it into the OED last year. It seems to have been used colloquially in Scotland, but very seldom appeared in print until this exhibition brought it to a wider audience.

Having lived in Scotland for 40 years before moving back to Lincolnshire
where I heard it used quite a lot in Scotland
surely its a Scottish word
but useful anyway
