English people call a rowie a bap? Doubt it!

A bap is a saftie that has flour on top as in "a floory bap".

Also Aberdonian slang for breasts when said baps are from the co-op. 

They call rowies, rowies. Strange, but that's what they call them. 
 

rolls are baps in engerland. 
 

No need to thank me

Is the confusion coming from the fact that theyre known as Aberdeen rolls South of Stoney? The items below are known up here as Softies,Baps, or Rolls

A rowie is called a rowie down this way. They're not massively common though. I only really see them in Aldi. 
 

the 2nd picture you've posted is a roll. Some may call is a bap, but to me a bap is a softer, lighter style, with a sprinkling of flour on the top.

Fits a softie to you then?

Softie is same as a bap / roll / bun / Glasgow roll to me.

Would usually use Rowie but also sometimes say buttery for, well, a Rowie.

Prior to its closing, a crispy Aitken's Rowie was the best. Now I would say that the Byron Baker has now taken over the Aitken's crown.

Traditional rolls (trad rolls) are the hand cut extra crispy rolls,  dusted with rice flour.  The cobble types 'breakfast' rolls are machine produced and dusted with wheat flour.  I worked in McGhees bakery along the street from Firhill for 6 years,  this is how they were referred to. I would call the floury soft rolls a 'bun'.
