Talk:Bught

I have deleted the following text from the article as it doesn't seem to be appropriate for an encyclopaedia.

I have used this word for more than sixty years for the sheep handling pens for my sheep. Where the sheep pens have a dipping tank for sheep I would refer to these types of pens as a "fank" Both "bught" and "fank" are everyday words used by Scottish farmers. I make no comment about the origins of the way bught is used in Inverness or its origins, but it would be interesting to know how this area was used in the past since many lowland farmers were employed in this area by the landowners during the Highland Clearances.
