Sassenach

Sassenach is a derogatory term for anyone from outside of the central highlands. It is a term for those who don't share the values or understand the highland way of life. It has come into general circulation amongst lowlanders through the song, ye sassenachs by name, although the irony of its use is not lost in their belief it means 'foreigners'.
