Doubtless from the Scots word "cludgie",

Since we don't have those any more, it refers to any rather squalid
toilet - think about the bookmaker scene in Trainspotting.
You mean you actually understand the dialog in Trainspotting - my
housekeeper who originally comes from Glasgow admits she can't
understand much of the dialog :-)
But yes, I'd agree, it's probably based on a Scottish word - wrong part
of the Celtic languages for me to understand....
