A Scot's surprised expression (3)
I believe the answer is:
och
I'm afraid I can't even guess how this answer relates to the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for och that I've seen before include "What Hamish might say" , "Scotsman may cry" , "Pshaw!" , "Scottish exclamation" , "Scots expression of impatience" .)
