In Scottish English, 'gutters' means mud or dirt — especially the sticky, wet kind found on unpaved streets or muddy ground after rain. Unrelated to the architectural gutter on a roof or road edge, this is a regional semantic extension describing messy, dirty conditions underfoot. Still in active regional use in Scotland.

The path through the field was pure gutters after the rain — we came home with mud up to our ankles.
Origin: Scottish sense of 'gutter' extended to mean general mud/dirt; derived from the same root as standard 'gutter' but semantically broadened. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
