Bauk
The balk, back, bauk, leum-iochd or bailc/bac was a strip of a corn field left fallow. The fear of being left with the last sheaf of the harvest called the cailleach or gobhar bhacach always led to an exciting competition among the reapers in the last field. The reaper who came on a leum-iochd would of course be glad to have so much less to cut. An old saying was "better a balk in autumn, than a sheaf the more." Rev. Michie of Dinnet heard the above saying in a different sense in the Highlands of Aberdeenshire, viz. that in lands allotted on the run-rig system, the crofter who got a balk attached to his rig was considered luckier than his neighbour with a somewhat larger rig, because, but without the balk, the grass of which was of more than compensating value, especially for fodder etc. In Heart of Midlothian by Walter Scott, he glosses it as "an unploughed ridge of land interposed among the corn" Gregor's Folk-lore of North East Scotland says: Bauks were also used as boundaries between neighbours' land. Robertson's General view of Agriculture in Perth says: This indicates that they were well in decline in parts of Lowland Scotland in the late 18th century. However, the word is recorded in the 1920s north east Scotland, as referring to a path between fields, obviously a residual use with a slightly different meaning.
