    In Scots: 'Wee bonnie tree'.

    In Scots-Gaelic (not sure of the correct gender/word placement):
    'goirid bòidhche craobh-ghiuthais' (literally: short bonnie pine-tree)

    I think it would be a BONNIE WEE TREE as opposed to a wee bonnie tree
    not meaning to correct anyone or seem smug or impolite
    just its a phrase i use every day talking to ma bonnie wee lad
    my son thats my term of endearment for him as it was my fathers for me
