A Scottish dialect verb meaning to yell loudly or shriek — to let out a loud, uncontrolled cry. More emphatic and less dignified than simply 'shouting,' yelloch implies a raw, uninhibited vocalization driven by strong emotion. Still comprehensible in Scottish English though not in everyday current use outside dialect contexts.
The children yelloched and ran as the hose turned on them.
