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

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

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