bairn
Highlands tot, perhaps
Bairn is a Scottish and Northern English dialect word for a child: The bairns are playing in the garden.
It remains common in everyday speech in Scotland and parts of Northern England, and appears frequently in Scottish literature.
The word carries warmth and familiarity, much like "kid" in standard English.
