Definition
Garlands or wreaths, traditionally placed on the coffins of unmarried young women at Scottish funerals, or the pole on which they hang.
Etymology
From Middle English and Scots, possibly from Dutch or Low German 'krans' (wreath). The word is specific to Scottish funeral traditions.
Kelly Says
This haunting tradition meant only unmarried girls got these floral symbols at death—it's a linguistic artifact of old courtship customs, mentioned in Shakespeare and still practiced in some Scottish regions.
