"Brae" can refer to a steep bank of a river valley, or to any slope or hill (it is typically an English and Scottish term).

"Braes" is also an old-fashioned spelling for brass (referring to the metal alloy or objects made of it).

In some historical fiction, "braes" can refer to men's braces, or suspenders.
