A Scottish dialectal adjective meaning showy, gaudy, or dressed up in an eye-catching, ostentatious way. Someone or something described as branky is decked out — perhaps a little too much so — in a way that draws attention and invites a raised eyebrow. The word carries a faint undercurrent of mild disapproval, as if the showiness is slightly overdone, but it can also be used with affectionate amusement toward someone who loves a big entrance.
Gran described the neighbour's new car as 'awfully branky' and then immediately asked for a lift in it.
