Dark and Drublie Days

I always remember this phrase from Scottish history lectures: it translated as 'dark and troublesome days'. I seem to remember that much of Scottish history was dark and drublie. 
The moor was a bit dark and drublie today; but not raining, and with a stiff breeze. These are conditions I can thole. 
The working week has begun...
