Description
Presenting Scots as a separate language in its own right, and conscious of its long history, the author of this guide to grammatical and idiomatic usage resists the notion that Scots is merely a dialect or defective version of English. He provides working examples in the hope that writers, teachers and speakers will gather confidence and bring the language into serious use for the people of Scotland in the 21st century.
