Which day is called Gowk Day in Scotland?

I'm Scottish and I know what Gowks means but I've never heard of Gowks Day - maybe not in all parts of Scotland?

Born and bred in Scotland and know that Gowk is Scots for Cuckoo, in fact there is a large glacial boulder in our village known as the Gowk Stane. I must say I have never heard of April Fools Day being called Gowk day.

wayneaboy, yup fellow Scot Highlander here never heard of gowks 🤷🏼‍♀️

Iain, Love all the Scots here! I visited your wonderful country several years ago and can hear your most fantastic accents in your replies. 😀

I am Scottish and had an aunt born in a small village near Newcastle (England) and she called it huntygowk.

Live in Central England with many Scottish friends but never heard of this.

I'm from North East Scotland and I've never heard of gowk.

Player Say what!?, which Scottish accent, which part did you visit?

In the North East of England a gowk is the core of an apple or pear.
