Scottish term for a grandchild, combining the standard English prefix 'grand-' with 'wean,' the Scots word for a young child or baby. Warmly used by grandparents across Scotland and the Scottish diaspora, grandwean carries the same affectionate weight as 'grandkid' in American English. You'll hear it at family gatherings from Glasgow to the Highlands, and it perfectly captures the cozy informality of Scottish family life.
My grandwean is only three but already has more personality than anyone else in the family.
