The term "unco" is employed in literature as a versatile modifier that often intensifies or nuances the description of people, objects, and situations. It frequently appears in works with a strong Scots influence, where it conveys a sense of something being oddly uncommon, exceedingly unusual, or remarkably excellent, as in spirited references like “unco guid” ([1], [2]). Authors use it both admiringly and critically, sometimes to celebrate exceptional qualities or, conversely, to underline peculiar or exaggerated traits ([3], [4]). Additionally, its integration into dialogue and verse adds authentic regional flavor and rhythm, enriching the narrative voice and deepening the reader’s sense of cultural context ([5], [6], [7]).
