boatie

It was there that the Dean learned his stories of "Boatie" and other worthies of the river-side.

Rocking to and fro, the nurse tuned her cracked voice to a long-forgotten lullaby—something about a "boatie."

Eh, but she swims fine, and she's gotten hold of the wee boatie wi' the laddie's dinner on it.

Weel may yon boatie row, or my craig'll have to thole a raxing.
