Scottish dialect: a state of gloom, melancholy, or dim darkness; a gloomy or dreary mood or appearance.
From Scots glaum (to grasp, obscure) or related to gloom, combined with the Scots diminutive or quality suffix -rie/-ry. The word reflects Scottish vocabulary for atmospheric mood.
Scottish has dozens of words for different types of gloom and dreariness because the weather creates poetry—'glaumrie' captures that specific grey, moody, damp feeling that outsiders call 'depressing.'
