To "stravaig" is to walk about idly.

Stravaig, to stroll about idly.

There's a man in the island ye will be glad to meet if he's in his ordinar—McDearg they ca' him—and after that, Hamish, we will stravaig to the South End and see the sheep there and come back hame again.

But putting the afternoon's stravaig and the morning's ramble together made quite a decent day's exercise; and I believe the two or three hours in the jungle with its strange sights and sounds, flowers, birds, and beasts, were as interesting as a Phoungies' funerals.

I have likewise some things to finish for Chambers before I go, and then I think I shall be able to enjoy a few days of a stravaig....
