yellow stick n. Scottish humorous (now disused) (in parts of the Hebrides) used (in expressions such as religion of the yellow stick) to refer, generally depreciatively, to Protestantism, the adoption of which in some places was said to have been enforced by the threat of punishment.Various explanations have been offered for the origin of this expression, or of the Scottish Gaelic of which it may be a translation: see for example quots. 1851, 1903. The English form is attested mainly as a translation of the Scottish Gaelic. [After Scottish Gaelic bata buidhe and (in quot. 1771) †cuilc buidhe, both denoting a kind of bamboo cane used in the 18th cent. (lit. ‘yellow stick’). In religion of the yellow stick after creideamh a' bhata bhuidhe (although this is first attested later: late 19th cent. or earlier) or †creideamh a' chuilce bhuidhe (cited in quot. 1771), both lit. ‘belief of the yellow stick’, probably after eolas a' bhata bhuidhe, lit. ‘knowledge of the yellow stick’, with reference to the enforced teaching of English in the Highlands (by a Protestant organization) after the failure of the last Jacobite rebellion in 1745 (mid 19th cent. or earlier).]
