A cotter, or cottar, is a peasant farmer formerly in the Scottish Highlands.
The word cotter is often employed to translate the cotarius of Domesday Book, a class whose exact status has been the subject of some discussion, and is still a matter of doubt.
A cotter could also be a medieval villein, someone who occupied a shack distinct from a permanent house and economically inferior to freeman and serfs but one step up from slavery.
