In the Gaelic parts of Scotland and Ireland, the word for heather was fraoch , pronounced nearly like German fröch . There are many regional differences in Gaelic, and fraoch can be pronounced “FREWX” or “FRAWX” in some parts of Gaeldom, perhaps explaining some of the spellings that have come into English for health-related words like frawlin or fraughan for blueberry, and freuchan for the “reinforcing toe cap of a brogue” (shoe, not accent) to prevent excessive wear by the heather.
Though there are three other (two very rare) relatives of heath in Scotland and two very local heaths found mainly in Dorset and Cornwall, the overall picture for the common experience in Gaeldom is one heather and two heaths in Scotland, and one heather and four (or possibly five) heaths in Ireland.
