Flan − gust of wind, especially one blowing smoke down a chimney, back draught; squall. As the following quotations show, flans are not good for housewives, sailors or gardeners.
A flan cam doon the lum an’ blew
The ase a’ ben the fleer
[The ash all inwards onto the floor]
(Banffshire Journal 25 February 1879).
Also tho the Wind be not so strong, there will come Flans and Blasts off the Land as to their swiftness and surprisal something like to Hurricanes.
(JOHN BRAND A Brief Description of Orkney, Zetland, Pightland-Firth & Caithness 1701)
