What the Scottish term "haar" means? As in "haar we can see you now,
you English #. Let's see how your gunpowder pours in this then!"
It occurred to me that a haar could be a mist composed of ice. Does
anyone know if this is or has been the case?

I doubt it - round here it most often applies to the sea-mist coming
off the Forth in the early morning in autumn (and my Scots dictionary
says it usually means an east-coast sea-fog). Nowhere near cold enough.
