Coorie
Coorie is a Scots word meaning "to stoop, bend, cringe, crouch for protection"[1][2][3]and "to snuggle, nestle"[1]. It has been appropriated and positioned as a 'lifestyle trend'[4][5][6][7][8][9], similar to the Scandinavian concept of hygge, which involves ideas such as cosiness.
In 2017, the Scottish tourist authority promoted còsagach – a Gaelic word which they suggested meant "snug, sheltered or cosy" but which Gaelic speakers said referred to a damp, mossy nook or cranny[10][11]. Còsagach has since been mistranslated as coorie in the media[12][13], in part due to the release of the best-selling book The Art of Coorie[5] in 2018, which incorrectly suggested that coorie is a well-established concept involving hearty Scottish cuisine, such as Cullen skink, and invigorating outdoor activities such as swimming in lochs.[5][14][11]
